In the latest development in the death of Manish Anurag Das, police sources have revealed some critical details. These details have surfaced following interrogation of the two friends of Manish, who have surrendered before police.
According to Police sources, no clear evidence has been found to show death after drowning in the pond, where the body of Manish was found. Sources informed that the lady who was seen in the CCTV footages walking ahead of Manish has been identified as the girlfriend of one of the victim’s friends.
