“Before fleeing the steel city, the accused Roshan Hembram and Bhola Honhaga had destroyed the SIM card so that the police may not track them. But the police came to know about their whereabouts from another accused Rajesh Karmaker who had surrendered in the court on November 20,” said Kishore Kaushal while briefing the newsmen at the police office here on Friday.

The senior police officer pointed out that there is one more accused in the case who is still absconding, adding that they are trying to arrest him.
