"Sayan could not speak well; he only spoke in a low voice, when I met him in the emergency ward of the hospital for an hour. The police will be in a position to carry on the interrogation with the suspect, only when he is fully recovered” Murali Rambha said.
“The Police have leveraged the advantages of technology to crack the case and every angle is being probed,” SP said.
