Boral, a resident of Salarpara, was murdered on May 2 at Bismuri Ultapani Saralpara Road.
Talking to reporters, the younger brother of the victim said, “We are sad that no proper investigation into the murder case has been started.”
He added, “We have given enough indication about those who might be involved in the incident. Now, it is for the law agency to figure it out who is there. They are equipped to handle the case; we have enough evidences that at the spot of the incident there was one bike and two civilians. We also heard that they were shaking hands with police. We have never seen police at that place earlier at that jungle.”
