A Crime Branch officer said, requesting anonymity, “When we were roaming about at LTT hunting for leads, these attendants couldn’t recognise his face from the CCTV footage. But when we took Sanap back to the spot in person and asked them, they confirmed that they had seen Sanap on a motorbike, taking a young woman with him.”
The police have now added sections 376 (rape), 397 (robbery or dacoity, with attempt to cause death) and 364 (kidnapping) of the IPC to sections 302 (murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence, or giving false information to screen offender) that they had applied earlier.
