The Commissionerate Police on Saturday took all the three accused in the Pramod Routray murder case on a two-day remand for further investigation. The Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) Court here gave the order in favour of the police after hearing the case.
The accused are Pramod’s wife Trupti and his father-in-law Rajkishore Mohapatra and brother-in-law Mahesh Mohapatra. They had been arrested on November 11 after four days of the murder.
Following the court order, the investigating police team took all the accused to the crime spot for further interrogation in order to get more information regarding the murder. Further investigation has been initiated by the police team following allegations by the brother, mother and sister of the deceased questioning the police version of the motive for the murder.
After the family members of the deceased claimed that people other than the three arrested were involved in the crime, the police had planned to bring the accused on remand to quiz them more about the incident.
The police team has started investigation at the spot where the murder occurred and would go through all angles including the relationship between the husband and wife since the time of their marriage in 2003.
