Jorethang Shocker: Missing Case Unravels Into Murder, Accused Gives Up

Jorethang, April 10 : What initially appeared to be a routine missing person case has taken a dark and disturbing turn, now being treated as a murder investigation after the accused, 32-year-old Binoy Kumar Gupta, surrendered before the police.

The victim, a 62-year-old man who had been reported missing since April 5, was later traced dead inside a warehouse located near Garib Utthan Bhawan. The breakthrough came after the accused allegedly admitted to the crime, leading police to the location.

Soon after the recovery, a forensic team reached the spot to carry out a detailed examination. The body has since been sent to Gangtok for post-mortem to ascertain the exact cause of death.

Police have registered a case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and are continuing their investigation to piece together the sequence of events and motive behind the crime.
