Cops foxed by IT engineer's murder
The police is clueless about why software engineer Adhip Lahiri was smothered to death and are still trying to figure out who committed this crime.
BANGALORE: The police is clueless about why software engineer Adhip Lahiri was smothered to death and are still trying to figure out who committed this crime on Thursday night, sources said on Saturday.
Lahiri, an IIT-Kharagpur graduate from Kolkata, working with an IT firm in Bangalore, was murdered on his way to his house on Airport Road. Joint commissioner of police (crime) Gopal B Hosur said the victim's hands and feet were bound.
Hosur said the attackers — possibly numbering about three — may have stopped him and gained entry in the car, overpowered and murdered him.
The postmortem report has indicated death due to asphyxiation. "The report also points out towards signs of struggle because a shirt button was torn," he said.
Other police teams are working on a theory that the victim was smothered by some known persons at a place known to him, preferably a house, because there were no major signs of struggle except a small injury on the head.
Lahiri's family cremated the body at Kalhalli Crematorium in Cox Town on Saturday.

This team feels it was not murder for gain as the attackers would not waste time finding ropes to bind his hands and feet, which would take up precious time. They had also placed his body carefully beside the Mahadevpura Tank and not carelessly thrown it into a wayside ditch or into a pool of water.
