Thes case accused, Ravindra Sahu, was also a Bihar native who was working in a factory at Himatnagar. He was arrested within hours of the incident.
Buxar SDPO Satish Kumar told TOI over the phone on Saturday the Surat police team had reached Buxar on October 16. “They were being provided necessary technical and human assistance for nabbing Anil,” he said and added Anil had fled Surat after the incident.
