The 12-year-old controversial Baisakhu Naik murder case is likely to be reopened after Jharsuguda Police submitted an application in SDJM Court here.
During the interrogation of dreaded criminal Karan Singh, many new facts have emerged and Singh has even admitted to having murdered Baisakhu. However, the police are trying to investigate further in order to understand the circumstances under which Baisakhu was killed and thrown into a well.
According to police, neighbours and general public were aware of the murder of Baisakhu by Singh and
his associates, but nobody came forward to become an eyewitness.
After a remand of seven days was over, Singh was produced before the SDJM Court which sent him to Jharsuguda Sub Jail. likewise, Singh's associates who allegedly aided him in the crime, Krisna Bajaj and Raja Sharma, were sent to jail when they were produced in the court after remand. "Karan will be brought on remand for interrogation again, if necessary," said Jharsuguda SP Umashankar Dash.
The Jharkhand police is also likely to take Singh on remand again to inquire about the crimes committed by him in Jharkhand.
