KOCHI: City police are on the verge of untangling the mystery behind the death of
Vaiga Sanu
who was found dead in the
Muttar river
on March 23 as her father
Sanu Mohan
, who was missing since March 20 night was spotted at
Kollur-Mookambika
on Friday. With this development, police were finally able to confirm that the man was alive.
Senior officers of city police on Saturday said that he would be nabbed within days. “It was always our theory that he was alive. Now, we have conclusive evidence. He has been spotted in Mookambika and there is evidence that he stayed at a hotel there. We are sure that in the next couple of days he will be caught,” said Nagaraju Chakilam, city police commissioner.
City police recovered CCTV footage of Mohan from the hotel where he stayed and from other areas in the temple town. According to sources, the missing person has been staying at the hotel for nearly a week. “The man was supposed to check-out from the hotel where he was staying on Friday. He had promised to pay via card but he managed to escape without paying,” said the source. The suspicious disappearance of their guest made the hotel staff suspicious, leading to the police getting alerted about the person.
Officials said that they recovered the Aadhaar card copy given to the hotel authorities by Mohan. The mobile number which he presented at the hotel was found to be not in use. It was the same number which the police tried to track after his disappearance.
Police have deployed teams in cities near Mookambika too. Police have contacted entry and exit points, including railway stations and airports, to prevent him from escaping.
The mystery behind the girl’s death had deepend when police found CCTV visuals of Mohan crossing the Walayar checkpost in the early hours of March 21.
