Police arrested a 19-year-old youth Soud Khan for allegedly killing Anwar Hussain alias Rinku at Millatnagar under Jugsalai police station area on late night of March 22. The police arrested Soud from his house at Islamnagar, in the wee hours of Thursday. Deputy superintendent of police (law and order) BN Singh said that the assailant Soud has confessed to kill Rinku in sequel to an old enmity. "After the arrest, Soud has confessed that he killed Rinku at an abandoned house at Millatnagar along Shiv Ghaat Road in Jugsalai. Soud had used a boulder to hit Rinku's head hard while he was enjoying the dendrite inhalation by sleeping on the floor in the abandoned house," Singh said.
The DSP said after killing Rinku, who was an auto-rickshaw driver, Soud had taken Rs 60 from his pocket and fled the scene. He said though two other youths, Mohammed Jamshed and Mohammed Badshah were also in the same abandoned house at the time of the murder, but the police are yet to ascertain whether they had also a role in the murder. Singh said both Jamshed and Badshah who are brothers are still absconding, but from the confessional statement of Soud it appeared that the two brothers were also in the same room, but they had no role in the murder.
