In the interim, the culprits tried to mislead the investigation by sharing messages and pictures on social media platforms from Rupali’s ID. Further, the culprits also shared messages from Rupali’s ID claiming that she had gotten married and her mother, cousins and others were safe.
Smelling foul play, the police looked into Rupali’s phone record and found out that she was in fact in constant communication with Surendra. In the interrogation by police, Surendra evaded the questions about her apparent relationship with Rupali.
Police kept an eye on him and found out that he was in contact with the other accused in the case. On interrogating each of them separately, the police was finally able to get the information and rushed to the field where the family was buried.
