According to the police, the 40-year-old man, Bijoy Roy, alias A Kasim, who had checked in with the deceased at the Old Delhi guest house, had brought the deceased, Rinku Saha (18), from West Bengal to Delhi on 22 August. He was trying to sell her off in the national capital, said a police officer. He had befriended her and brought her to Delhi on the promise of marriage, the officer informed. ‘During investigation, it was found that on 21 August, Rinku had gone for her tuition and never returned home. Surprisingly, a missing report wasn’t registered at the concerned police station in Cooch Behar of West Bengal, from where Rinku belonged. Her parents had rather informed the police informally about their missing daughter’, he said.
After a thorough search of the room 403 of Tamanna guest house, where Rinku’s dead body was found, it was discovered that she had come to Delhi with a man in a train that departed from the New Jalpaiguri Station on 21 August and arrived at New Delhi Railway Station on 22 August.
The officer said, ‘but they checked in at the guest house on 25 August with fake names. We now believe that for the first three days of their arrival in Delhi, the man, who accompanied the deceased, was trying to strike a deal.’ Bijoy Roy, who hails from Murshidabad in West Bengal, is still at large and police launched a man hun to nab him as soon as possible to ascertain the cause of her death. Rinku’s parents informed police that they have never heard of any Bijoy Roy or A Kasim.
They also couldn’t recognize the man after his photograph (taken from his identity cards bearing two different names) was shown to them, the officer added. Rinku’s body was found hanging from the ceiling fan at a guest house in Old Delhi.
