A senior office said that preliminary investigation revealed that he was suspected to have been murdered with a hit on his head allegedly by a blunt object. And it is likely that the body had been dumped at New Town after the murder elsewhere.
Meanwhile, police have arrested one person following interrogation from Patashpur, Midnapore during a naka-checking.
Though police are still unwilling to give details of the alleged catch, sources claimed that blood stains found during naka-checking at Patashpur in a car led them to believe that something was amiss. And following interrogation of the alleged app cab driver, certain discrepancy in his statement prompted the police to detain him.
Sources at New Town Techno City police claimed that the deceased, who originally hailed from Odisha, had been living at a rented house at Nandannagar, Belghoria for the last two months. Sources also claimed a woman too lived with him in that rented house.
Though the real motive behind the alleged murder was still to be ascertained, sources claimed that business rivalry coupled with personal grudge likely to be the key behind the murder.
