The Hope Metro learnt that, the sergeant was one of the newly transferred to the Anti-kidnapping section of the Command, the previous day to the day the unfortunate incident  happened.

The police source revealed that this has made the police authority to suspect the sergeant who is now cooling off  in the police cell, while thorough investigation into the matter is ongoing.

A competent police source, who also confirmed the incident said that the police sergeant has been arrested and being detained at the state CID helping the police for investigations.

When The Hope Metro visited the state CID, it was reliably gathered that the police sergeant has tendered his statement about the incident to the police.
