ALUVA: According to police, arrested Asafak has admitted to killing five-year-old Chandini who he kidnapped yesterday under the influence of alcohol and other drugs. Earlier, the accused gave a statement about selling the girl for money. The police confirmed it as a ploy made by Asafak to divert the case. The DIG also confirmed deep wounds all across the victim's body. According to Forensic, the murder happened somewhere between 4 pm to 6 pm.

Meanwhile, a special team has been formed to investigate the murder. The police suspect more involvement in the case apart from Asafak. Yesterday, Asasfak got into a scuffle and was seen by locals near the market. From the CCTV visuals of Yesterday at 3:30 pm, Asafak was seen holding the hands of Chandini and walking inside the market premise. However, the visuals also showed the accused leaving the market area after some time, this time all alone.

On Sunday morning, Asafak was brought near the market area for taking evidence as per procedural standards. However, the porters and locals in the market showed fury and created a melee by attacking the accused. The police thus had to double back and cancel the procedure. Some among the locals doubted seeing another guy with Asafak yesterday.

Asafak Alam hails from Assam. He was caught by police from Thottakkattukara in Aluva. According to police, Asafak is still under the influence of drugs and is yet to turn sober. He earlier denied the police accusation of kidnapping, but only admitted to his shenanigans after the CCTV footage was shown. According to police information, the accused planned to take the girl towards Thrissur.

Chandini is the daughter of Ramdhar Tiwari from Bishambharpur in Bihar. The family were staying in Mukkam Plaza in Aluva. Asafak arrived in Kerala just two days before and found a rent in Mukkam Plaza, in a room adjacent to Ramdhar’s.
