Jamshedpur, Sept 29: The body of 22-year-old Bisu Murmu, a resident of Haludbani Dungri Tola under Parsudih police station, was recovered from the Joda pond in Turamdih, Sundernagar police station area, three days after he went missing.

Police have sent the body for a post-mortem and initiated an investigation, suspecting foul play in the case.

Police have detained the three friends for questioning. Preliminary investigation suggests that the group had gone to the pond for a swim. However, since Bisu was known to be a good swimmer, the possibility of accidental drowning is being viewed with suspicion.

Family members have alleged that the friends concealed the truth about the incident and informed them late. Police are probing whether personal enmity or any dispute may have led to Bisu’s death.
