6 held for student's murder

PATNA: Police on Sunday arrested six persons in connection with the death of a computer student, Mudassar Nazar (25), who was found dead at his rented house at Naya Tola under Phulwarisharif PS on Saturday evening.
Nazar's hands were tied and an electric wire was wrapped around his waist. The deceased, a native of Saraikuri village under Bahadurganj PS in Kishanganj district, lived in the house of one Imam Mehendi for the past one year.
Phulwarisharif SDPO Rakesh Dubey said the deceased's father, Mohammad Mohsin, a schoolteacher, had lodged a named FIR against six persons charging them with murdering his son. The arrested persons had been identified as Imam Mehendi, his wife Farzana, Zamil, Matluv Alam and Tazubar Khan. Dubey said prima facie, it appeared to be a case of murder, though an attempt was made to pass it as a suicide case. He said Nazar's head bore injury mark and blood stains were also found on the wall of his room.
The SDPO said Nazar was having an affair with Imam's niece. He had written in his diary that he was scolded by the girl's family. A letter written by the girl had been seized, saying she felt very bad when her family members ill-treated Nazar.
Body recovered: The Akilpur police in Patna district recovered the body of a married woman, Phula Devi, from the Ganga on Sunday. She was a native of Chitnawan village and her in-laws' place was Badan Tola under Maner police station, said Maner police station SHO Rasbihari Paswan.
Police said she had returned to 'sasural' on February 10 with her brother in-law Upendra Kumar. On February 16, her family members came to know about her murder. Paswan said the deceased's uncle had lodged a written complaint alleging that his niece had been murdered by her father in-law, mother in-law, brother in-law and sister in-law for dowry. The deceased's husband is working in Kolkata. Married about nine years back, she had three children. Raids were on to arrest the accused as they are on the run, the SHO said.
