NAGAON, Dec 2: Nagaon police finally arrested one person in connection with the sensational murder of four people from Garajan Pashim Amarakanda village under Garajan Police Outpost in November and also brought to light the entire episode on Monday.
While addressing a press conference at the conference hall of Nagaon police reserve on Monday evening, Swapnanil Deka, superintendent of police, Nagaon, informed that the arrested person, identified as Amal Sarkar, the younger brother of the victim Gangadhar Sarkar, unearthed the entire gruesome incident of November 22.
According to Amal Sarkar’s statement, Anupam Sutradhar, the fourth victim, whose body was found along with the bodies of Gunadhar Sarkar, his wife Sarudhari Sarkar, and their younger daughter Jayasmita Sarkar inside their residence, was killed by Amal Sarkar himself, SP Deka added.
Briefing about the gruesome incident, the senior police official said that Anupam Sutradhar killed Gunadhar Sarkar, his daughter Jayasmita Sarkar, and when he was about to kill his wife Sarudhari Sarkar, Amal Sarkar entered the room where the murder was taking place. With no option to resist him, Amal tried to subdue Anupam. But Anupam Sutradhar was so ferocious that he leaped on Amal as well. A scuffle ensued during which Amal Sarkar finally murdered Anupam Sutradhar on the spot, leaving Amal Sarkar with a minor injury.
Amal Sarkar immediately left the spot and set his bloodstained clothes on fire to destroy the evidence, SP Deka said, adding that Anupam Sutradhar had threatened the youth with whom Navasmita Sarkar’s marriage had been arranged several times, warning him not to marry her since he had broken his affair with Navasmita Sarkar. Additionally, two cross-cases were filed by both parties in 2022, SP Deka said, adding that during the investigation by a special investigative team of police, evidence, including videos, had already been gathered in support of Anupam Sutradhar’s direct involvement in the killings of the three members of Gunadhar Sarkar’s family.
