The Karimnagar police have gathered some clues and are probing further to collect scientific evidence in the gruesome murder of an Intermediate girl student in Karimnagar town on Monday. Police said they are confident of cracking the case within 48 hours.
An Intermediate first year student was found dead with her throat slit with a sharp kitchen knife at her house, when she was alone and preparing for her exams. The incident came to light when her parents returned home in the evening and found her lying in a pool of blood.
No sexual assault
According to the police, there was no sexual assault on the girl. Surprisingly, there was no spilling over of blood when her throat was slit and there were no bloodstains on the walls. There were no marks of resistance from the victim when the accused assaulted her with a knife. The victim was polio-affected, and her parents had recently got correction surgeries on her.
Incidentally, her parents have lodged a complaint with the police that there was a theft in the house and ₹99,000 cash and four tolas of gold ornaments were missing from the almirah. The dog squad was pressed into service and the CLUES team has also collected evidence from the crime scene.
Police have formed eight teams, including four technical teams, to collect evidence from cellphones, CCTV footages and fingerprints. Another four teams would coordinate with the investigation officer (IO). Four persons were called for interrogation.
Ramagundam Commissioner of Police and Karimnagar in-charge Commissioner V. Satyanarayana visited the victim’s house at Vidyanagar on Tuesday and inspected the crime scene and surroundings.
Fast-track court?
Talking to the media , Mr. Satyanarayana said that they had zeroed in on two angles. One, a lovelorn youth, who proposed to the victim, but was vehemently rejected. Two, the possible role of a close family member.
Komuraiah runs a small finance business. “We are also probing the angle of any enemies from his closest circle and relatives due to his business,” Mr. Satyanarayana said.
Stating that the DGP and IGP were also monitoring the progress of the case, he said that they would solve the case within 48 hours. “We will urge the government to set up a special fast-track court for the trial after filing the chargesheet,” he added.
