Dibrugarh: The Dibrugarh police investigating the Omprakash Agarwal murder case has got clue about the motive behind the murder.
Omprakash Agarwal was attacked right in the middle of Dibrugarh city on Tuesday evening. The incident that took place just 100 metres away from Agarwal’s residence indicates that the murder was pre-planned. It has been reported that the attackers had also snatched a bag containing money. But it is not known how much money was in the bag. Omprakash Agarwal was an employee of Vinayak Flour Mills.
The Dibrugarh police suspects that it was done with the intention of dacoity.
Two persons who had snatched a bag from Agarwal are believed to be involved in the attack. Police has managed to collect footage from the CCTV of a beauty parlour located nearby. Two bike-borne assailants are seen rushing away from the spot, though the video is not very clear. The bag that was snatched from Agarwal is seen on the back of one of the assailants in the CCTV footage.
It also looks like a pre-planned attack and heist as the spot is near an abandoned house that made things easier for the attackers.
“This is a pre-planned dacoity. The victim used to collect money from a flour mill in the evening and was bringing it when the incident happened. It seems he was being followed for many days,” said Dibrugarh BJP MLA Prasanta Phukan.
