Five police teams are working round-the-clock in search of the person who murdered the 24-year-old Swathi, a software engineer, at Nungambakkam railway station on Friday morning. Though there were no CCTVs installed at the suburban railway station, the police could get the image of a young man leaving the Nungambakkam station from CCTV outside the station immediately after Friday’s gruesome murder.
A senior police official told reporters that they had some definite clues about the person who is believed to be the murderer. “Swathi had confided to her friends that she was being followed by a stalker. Though her friends had asked her to approach the police, she chose to ignore it,” said one of the investigators. The image of the murderer which the police collected from the CCTV has been released and the police expect that the murderer may either give in himself or the investigators may zero in him in the next few days.
The call records of the victim are being pursued by the police. Nungambackam saw another murder on Friday night when a security guard working in one of the business complex was found murdered late Friday. Ramesh(48) was murdered by his colleague Pazhani on Friday night and the police arrested him on Saturday from a bus station.
