A man accused in the shocking case involving three bodies found inside a car on the Peeragarhi flyover has been remanded to 14 days of judicial custody. The court’s decision comes as police continue their investigation into the disturbing incident. The accused, identified as Kamruddin, also known as ‘Baba’, was presented before the court following his arrest. According to Sachin Sharma, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, the accused allegedly lured people by claiming he could cure serious illnesses.
"He used to trap people by curing illnesses. The people who have come so far have been illness-related. He has been taken into police custody and is being interrogated. We are looking into the financial aspects," said DCP.
“The main method of trapping people that has come to light so far is that he would claim to cure people. If someone has health-related issues, most people we have interacted with so far have said similar things. His card mentions "medicine for every illness" and such things. So, anyone in pain or distress would come to him. But those who have come forward so far have sought him out for illness-related cures. In this case as well, it was similar," he added.
About the incident
