In a swift move, Indore police have unearthed a double murder case which rocked the city last night, within 24 hours of the incident. The murder case was unearthed on the basis of CCTV footings of the deceased's house and information provided by the house maid.
In a hurriedly convened press conference on Thursday morning, SP (Headquarter) Rudolf Alvares and SP Anil Kushwaha informed that on the basis of CCTV footage of the deceased's house and information given by the house maid. Gardener Sukhlal has turned out to be killer of the deceased couple. Separate police teams have been sent for the arrest of the accused. Police have also announced a reward of Rs 15,000 over the arrest of the accused.
According to police, the accused Sukhlal, a native of Ashok Nagar (Guna district) had been hired by the deceased couple on February 25 last month. However, the couple had given no information about him to the nearby police station as the police had no record about him. Sukhlal's involvement in the double murder case was ascertained after police saw the CCTV footage of the house wherein he had been spotted splashed in blood.
Police suspicion about involvement of Sukhlal in the double murder was further confirmed by the statement given by housemaid Asha who was a witness of the incident. According to information provided by the housemaid Asha, the accused had strangulated Jyoti Agrawal in her bungalow located in Martand Nagar locality of the city on A B Road last evening at around 7.30 pm. Thereafter, he killed the businessman Vijay Agrawal (47) by repeatedly attacking him with a glass table top. During the incident, he also sustained minor injuries. Housemaid Asha who had arrived at the couple's house at the time of incident, herself saw the gory incident taking place as she stood behind a curtain in the house. After being spotted by Sukhlal, the housemaid gripped by fear and panic, rushed out of the house and informed about the incident to a tea vendor outside the bungalow. The housemaid informed about involvement of gardener Sukhlal in the murder case on Thursday morning.
