Video Recording Of Crime
IANS has also learned from sources that Ahmed and Mukhopadhyay have admitted that the video recording of the crime was also a part of the well-thought-out crime to blackmail the victim so that the latter did not approach the police or reveal to anyone about what happened on that night.
Furthermore, an investigation is being carried out to determine whether the video clip of the crime has already been circulated.
IANS quoted the sources as saying, “Several sleazy videos were stored in the mobile phones of the three accused, especially that of Mishra, which hints towards their addition of such sleazy items.”
