He added that a forensic team visited the crime scene in Biradhana village and collected evidence.Police are scanning CCTV footage from nearby locations to reconstruct the sequence of events and trace the suspect’s movements before and after the incident, the ACP said.Of the three cases already registered against Sanjay, one pertains to murder. “Following Monday’s incident, a fresh murder case has been registered against him. Multiple teams, including CIA and special staff units, have been deployed to conduct raids at possible hideouts, but the accused remains untraceable,” Kumar said.Preliminary investigation suggests a domestic dispute may have triggered the fatal confrontation.
