    SP Rahul Sharma said Dinesh, a gangster of Karala village of Delhi, was facing many criminal cases and was currently lodged in Tihar Jail.
     
     
    Dinesh is the brother-in-law of Harshita, who had accused him of rape in 2013 and a case was registered against him, he added.
     
     
    The 22-year-old singer was yesterday shot dead by unidentified youths at Chamrara village in Haryana’s Panipat district yesterday when she was returning home after performing at a function in the village.
