The video believed to have been shot months ago surfaced in Bangladesh for the first time after which the Deputy Commissioner of Tejgaon zone of Dhaka Metropolitan Police, Mohammad Sahidulla took up the case, sources said.
During the investigation in Bangladesh, one of their accomplices was caught and who told the police that the video was shot somewhere in India.
Notably, when the video first surfaced in India, many in the Northeast believed that the victim was from this part of the Country.
Netizens, at first, even rushed to conclude that the girl in the video was Lovikali Sumi from Nagaland, who had committed suicide recently in Jodhpur, Rajasthan.
However, preliminary investigation ruled out the claim and it was established that the victim in the viral video was not Lovikali Sumi from Nagaland, who had committed suicide recently in Jodhpur.
