Kolkata: The sleuths have arrested a person for allegedly murdering an app-cab driver identified as Imran Khan (32) in the Pragati Maidan area.
According to the sources, while checking the call records of Khan, police found a phone number. They found a number and came to know about one Parvez Alam, who is a relative of Khan.
The sleuths checked with the mobile phone tower location and saw Alam's location was in the same area at the time of murder. On suspicion, police detained Alam, a truck driver by profession, and
interrogated him.
Though primarily he denied, later admitted to have murdered Khan.
He said he was having an illicit relationship with Khan's wife. Recently, Khan came to know about the relationship and forced his wife to stop all sorts of communication
with Alam.
Although Alam made several attempts to contact her, Khan stopped them.
As he could not bypass Khan, Alam made up his mind to kill him. Alam was aware that Khan had a huge debt in the market and used that point as a bait.
Alam told Khan he would provide him with the money needed to repay the debt. As a result, Khan went near Uttar Panchanna Gram to meet Alam. On Sunday night, when Khan reached the spot, Alam hit his head from behind using a heavy metal object and fled the scene.
Alam took the mobile with him to hide his identity. The sleuths are probing whether Khan's wife is connected with the murder.
