She had been working as a temporary cleaner at the police station for the last six months. (Representational) The Government Railway Police (GRP) has rounded up a man, who had gifted a gold nosepin to victim Rojina Begum, who was found murdered with multiple sharp injuries near railway station on January 15. Sources said that the man was rounded up on the suspicion of the victim’s family members. The suspect is a cycle mechanic, who resides at Mauli Jagran village.
A source said, “The man confessed that the victim was in his touch and he had gifted her a gold nosepin. The man was released after questioning as it was established that he was present at his shop between 5 pm and 9 pm. Later, he went to his house. The man has two kids. Victim’s family members knew that the man was in touch with Rojina Begum.”
A GRP police officer said, “Investigation is on. The family members of victim expressed their suspicion on the cycle mechanic. We detained him for questioning and released him when nothing was found against him. A knife, which is welded, was found near the scene of crime. We presume it is a vital clue. The cell phone of the victim woman is still missing. The son of the woman had a few words with her over the phone around 5 pm on the fateful day.”
