"The deceased used to visit his farm everyday to guard the Rabi crop. On the day of the incident, Laxmi Devi called Gopal who arrived at the farm and strangled Jagdish to death," the SP said. He said the probe team analysed the call records of the accused, their mobile phone location and CCTV footage to gather ample evidence against them and build a strong case.

I immediately went to the farm and found Jagdish's motorcycle lying on the side of the road. I searched for my son at the farm, but he was missing. After searching nearby areas, I found his body in the bushes near a well behind a pond. I informed the family members, who brought the body home and then took it to the Kareda Community Health Centre."
