“On September 23, delivery boy, Bharat Sahu of Nishatganj, went to deliver the phone at his place where he was killed by Gajanan and his accomplice. After strangulating Sahu, they put his body in a sack and disposed it off in the Indira Canal,” said the police.

When Sahu did not return home for two days, his family registered a missing person complaint on September 25 at the Chinhat police station. An investigation was initiated promptly, during which call records were analyzed, ultimately leading authorities to a customer involved in the case.

Authorities confirmed that the remains were located in the Indira Canal, prompting the involvement of the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) to assist in the recovery efforts. Reports indicate that the body was placed in a gunny sack before being disposed of in the canal.

“The State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) team is actively searching for the victim’s body in the canal,” the police stated.
