He said that the victim, 24-years old Sariful Islam—an electrician working under the Agartala Smart City Project was allegedly murdered on the night of June 8.

“Dr. Dibakar Saha (29), who completed his MBBS from Bangladesh, called Sariful to his residence in the South Indranagar area of Agartala  to hand over him a gift. When, Sariful arrived at the spot at about 9.30 PM of June 8th , he found three other individuals present at that spot, identified as Animesh Yadav (21), Nabanit Das (25), and Jaydeep Das (20),” said Kumar and added that as per police’s preliminary investigation, the group had pre-planned the murder.

He said that Sariful was in a relationship with a girl who is the cousin of Dr. Dibakar Saha. Dibakar reportedly also developed love affairs with that same girl, which led to growing tensions between the two men.

“Driven by jealousy and resentment, Dr Dibakar allegedly conspired to eliminate his romantic rival. Sariful was strangled to death by the group. His body was then stuffed into a trolley bag and shifted to another house,” said Kumar.

On June 9, Dibakar’s parents—Dipak Saha (52) and Debika Saha—arrived from Gandacherra with a vehicle. In a shocking turn of events, they allegedly helped transport the body, which had been stored in a refrigerator, to Gandacherra in an attempt to dispose of it discreetly, said Kumar.

The police later recovered the body and arrested all six accused Dr. Dibakar Saha, the three accomplices, and his parents.

Kumar also said that a police investigation is going on and soon the investigation team will unearth the entire mystery of the murder.
