Udaipur police claim to have solved the murder mystery of 6th Aug when a young woman was found dead under the bushes near Goverdhan Sagar. The girl, identified as Pratima Kevat from Gorakhpur, U.P was allegedly killed by a relative of her boyfriend.

The main accused of the murder Sunil has been arrested by Gorakhpur Police. Udaipur police is trying to get custody of the accused.

Murder finds its link to the love affair between Pratima and Indrasen. Families of both were against the relationship and so the couple ran away to Udaipur on 29^th July and started staying with Indrasen’s Uncle Bhola. Bhola is a contractual worker and used to stay with his relative Sunil in Goverdhan Sagar area.

On the day of incident, finding Pratima alone at the house, Sunil allegedly forced her to the nearby bushes where he allegedly raped her before strangulating her to death. Immediately after committing the crime, Sunil ran away to Gorakhpur.

When Indrasen and his uncle Bhola came to know about the murder, they got scared of police investigation and also fled to their villages.

Udaipur police got the first clue about the girl’s murder when they were informed that she was staying with people from Gorakhpur. A missing person report was also lodged by Pratima’s father with Gorakhpur police. Victim was identified when both cases of missing and murder were linked.

Gorakhpur police first arrested victim girl’s lover Indrasen and subsequently reached the key accused Sunil.
