Bhopal resident Udayan Das, who allegedly killed his parents and live-in partner, was likely to be interrogated by a team of Raipur police for the murder of his parents.

"A team of Raipur police would come to Bankura on or after February 15 to interrogate Das about his parents' murder," Bankura Superintendent of Police Sukhendu Hira told IANS over phone.

Das told the police that he murdered both his parents in 2010 and interred their bodies in their house premises in Chhattisgarh's Raipur. He was also present at the spot when the police exhumed two skeletal remains, presumably of his parents, from the premises of his parents' house.

 

The Bankura police, who are interrogating Das about the alleged killing of his live-in partner from the district, said they found evidences of the girl buying tickets from Bhopal to West Bengal's Howrah station in the second week of July last year.

The police believed Das killed her after learning that she was about to go away.

"We found evidences that the girl booked tickets in the second week of July and was about to travel to Howrah on July 15. It is possible she was killed after that," the officer said.

"Das hasn't revealed why and how he murdered the girl yet. He would be interrogated for the next few days to confirm the motive," he added.

Das was brought to the state from Bhopal on transit remand by the Bankura police and was remanded in police custody for eight days by the Bankura district court on February 7.

He was arrested on February 2 by the West Bengal Police on charges of murdering his live-in partner Shweta Sharma (28) and entombing her body in a concrete block inside his house in Saketnagar in Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh. Later, he also confessed to his parents' murder.
