After a complaint was filed by her mother on February 8, police registered a case against village head's husband Sajjan Shukla of Tajuddinpur and Satyam Mishra of Nai Bazaar. During investigation, police arrested Sajjan Shukla and his associate Shravan Kumar alias Kaptan Shukla. They allegedly confessed to strangling woman and throwing her body into Ganga. The third accused, Satyam Mishra, remains on the run. Earlier, SP Deepak Bhukar had announced a reward of Rs.25,000 for information leading to Mishra's arrest. With no breakthrough, the reward has now been doubled to intensify efforts to nab him.
