Sources said police is questioning Sahu about the details of the murder and regarding the involvement of others in the crime. Police are reportedly questioning Sahu about how did he kill Mamita and take her to the stadium.
Police are also interrogating Sahu about what Mamita knew about his alleged illicit relationship and if that was the reason behind the planned murder.
Mamita, who was teacher at Sunshine Model School at Mahaling in Kalahandi district had threatened Sahu, the president of the School Management Committee (SMC), to expose his alleged extra-marital affairs. Sahu had a grudge against her and in order to take revenge, he decided to eliminate her, the Northern Range DIG had informed in a press meet on Wednesday.
The DIG had further revealed that after strangling Mamita to death in his car on October 8, Sahu took the body to the under-construction stadium of the school for disposal and burnt the body with the help of cardboards and tyres before burying it.
