Failing to find any vital clue in the murder case of an 80-year-old man who was smothered to death on Thursday in the State capital, the police have announced a cash reward of Rs 50,000 for the person providing information of the killers.
On Friday, the Director General of Police, MP police Nanden Dube declared a cash reward of Rs 50,000 for providing clue of the miscreants involved in the murder and robbery.

After the victim was killed, the offenders escaped with valuables worth lakhs of rupees. The family members were asleep at the first floor of the house. The police suspect that someone acquainted with the victim is involved in the crime.
After the preliminary investigation, no vital clue has been obtained by the police. The police have started further investigation. The SHO of Kamla Nagar Rajendra Raghuwanshi told that investigation is on and we are finding out that how the family members asleep on the first floor were not disturbed when the victims were killed and captivated.
During the investigation it was found that none of the family members woke up during the incident which was not less than a surprise and claimed that they did not hear any noise during the incident which might be due to the loud noise of air coolers.
The son of the victim owns an air cooler manufacturing unit. More than three scores of people have been questioned that include the employees of the victim’s son. Few people are detained but nothing concrete could be said at the moment, he added.
