Former MLA Anup Sai’s driver, who was arrested by the Chhattisgarh police on Saturday for his alleged involvement in the murder of a woman and her minor daughter in 2016, confessed to having committed the crime and revealed sensational details during interrogation on Monday.
The driver Burdhan Toppo revealed that two SUVs had been used to execute the crime, said reports. Later, the police asked Sai’s nephew to personally appear before them with the Bolero and an Innova on Tuesday for questioning.
Police are trying to establish whether the two vehicles owned by the former MLA are the same which were used in the killing of Kalpana Das and her daughter Babli. The cops are also suspecting the involvement of other persons in the double murder and have intensified the investigation. .
On Sunday, Toppo was taken to the crime scene in Hamirpur by the Chhattisgarh police where he reconstructed the murder.
“Following the confession about his involvement in the murder, we took Toppo to the crime spot and tried to recreate the scene. He told that apart from a Bolero, an Innova car was also used to kill the duo. He also said there were some other persons in the Innova too,” said police.
Meanwhile, a number of teams of Chhattisgarh police have been sent to Bhubaneswar and Jharsuguda for further investigation into the incident.
A team also visited the Lamitibahal SBI branch on Monday to examine the bank accounts of Sai which the cops claim could play a crucial role as evidence in the entire investigation.
Moreover, notices have been served to several people, including a relative of Kalpana, to appear in person at police station on Tuesday.
