The Chhattisgarh police would soon conduct Narco test on double murder accused, former MLA Anup Sai and his driver Bardhan Toppo.
Bilaspur IG Dipansu Kabra, who is supervising the case along with Raigarh SP Santosh Singh, on Thursday, said police are taking the double murder case very seriously. “The Narco test analysis will act as corroborative evidence to the existing evidences against the accused Sai and Toppo.”
He added that since this was a blind murder with no eye-witnesses, hence building a tight case against the accused is important and that Narco test report would help build a stronger case.
He said, “We have had evidence which pointed at the duo which finally led to their arrests. Both have confessed to the murders during interrogation; But there have been certain discrepancies in their statements which we are trying to check out.
Crime scene recreation has also been completed and we are also in the process of collecting other evidence to verify the involvement of any other person. The suspected Innova car used for the murder has also been seized,” he added. Kabra also said that the former MLA and the deceased Kalpana lived as a married couple in Bhubaneswar and that they suspect that Sai had mentioned Kalpana’s daughter as his own in official documents.
A team of the Chhattisgarh police is currently in Bhubaneswar and is trying to verify the same. Earlier, on Wednesday, a police team had checked the travel records of Sai and Kalpana at the Biju Patnaik International Airport in the capital city.
