Police sources reveal that Khan had a business partner named Amit Sahu in Jabalpur, who is the prime suspect in this case. She departed for Jabalpur on August 1 and has been missing since the following day. Sahu owns a Dhaba in Jabalpur.
Subsequently, the police interrogated a Dhaba worker of Amit Sahu, the prime suspect in the case, who informed authorities that Sahu had instructed him to clean his car before departing from Jabalpur. During the cleaning process, the worker reportedly discovered bloodstains in the car, along with some clothing. He also notified the police that Sahu had acquired a SIM Card using his Aadhar Card before fleeing Jabalpur.
The accused, Amit Sahu alias Pappu, was arrested along with two others by the Nagpur police from the Ghora Bazar area of Jabalpur in the adjoining state, ten days after Khan, a Nagpur BJP minority cell functionary, went missing, he said.
Nagpur DCP (Zone 2) Rahul Madne claimed Sahu, the prime accused in the case who was known to the 34-year-old victim, has “confessed” to kidnapping and killing Khan.
He also showed the murder spot to the police, but the victim’s body has not been recovered yet, said the officer.
A motive was not immediately clear.
The role of the two other persons arrested along with Sahu, who runs a ‘dhaba’ (roadside eatery) in Jabalpur, in the crime was not disclosed by the police.
