“After hectic efforts and taking a blend of technical and human intelligence, police fixed the investigation radar on a close friend of deceased namely Mohinder Kumar (alias Kuku) son of Buti Ram of Suchetgarh (RS Pura), who when put to sustained questioning, accepted the crime and divulged the details and sequence of events.
Briefing the sequence of events that led to murder, sources said that both Bodh Raj and Mohinder were close friends and had worked together few years back at different level of postings in Paramilitary force.
