He wants to sell a house after Durga Puja.
On Sunday, he might mention some of them to show property,” said Joint CP (Crime) Murlidhar Sharma.
While the police were investigating everyone Chaki relating to recently, especially the brokers and potential buyers, they did not rule out the possibility of murderers disguised themselves as buyers to loot it or even someone known as the layout of the house.
