However, the crime branch became active again when the SSP ordered re-investigation of all such cases. The matter unravelled when the police quizzed the 16-year-old daughter of 'missing' man.

The case became crystal clear when the police interrogated the woman and her neighbour on the basis of the statement of the girl.
