During the interrogation, the girl said that she had befriended the deceased, Saddam, on Instagram three years ago. Saddam operated several Insta IDs. She met him through one of these IDs. After that, they gradually started talking. During this time, they met several times in Raipur. Saddam secretly made an obscene video of the girl.

She said that Saddam threatened to make the video viral to get his way. When she refused, Saddam would beat her. He threatened her and was also physically intimate with her several times. During that time, the girl became pregnant. Then, on September 27, the girl came to Raipur from Bilaspur by train. She informed Saddam about this. Upon receiving the information, Saddam assaulted the girl outside the station.

After that, they rented a room in the Avon Lodge located near the station. Then, both of them checked out on the next day, i.e., September 28, and went to Abhanpur. In the evening, they returned to the same lodge. During that time, the young man also drank alcohol. After that, both of them went to sleep. Then, at night, when Saddam was asleep, the girl stabbed him several times in the neck with a knife, due to which he died on the spot.

After the murder, the girl locked the room of the lodge and left for Bilaspur by train. The girl also took Saddam’s phone with her after the murder. Later, the girl deleted all the data from the phone and threw Saddam’s phone and the key to the room from the train while returning. After that, she reached home and told her mother about the incident. Then the matter was revealed.

Police have arrested the girl’s boyfriend, Premchand Sahu. According to information, Premchand Sahu, a resident of Lapung police station area, and the girl, a resident of Tapkara police station area in Khunti, connected on Facebook about two years ago. They became friends on social media, and their friendship gradually turned into love. They started meeting each other.

Premchand Sahu called his girlfriend to his home, promising to marry her. Then, they lived in a live-in relationship for about three to four months. However, the deceased girl found out that Premchand Sahu was already married. A dispute arose over this, after which the boyfriend, Premchand Sahu, beat up the minor girlfriend and started giving her various tortures. On September 6, the girlfriend left Premchand Sahu’s house and returned to her village, where she started living with her widowed mother.

On Saturday, September 20, Premchand Sahu found her at her house and started forcing her to come with him. When the girl repeatedly refused, Premchand became enraged and started fighting with the girlfriend as well as her mother. Premchand was holding a sharp weapon.
