Atmaram lives in Shivkanth Nagar and he informed the police that Devendra had left home on Sunday but did not return home. On Monday, his body was recovered.

TI Shukla said his wife has been detained on suspicion. She informed the police that her husband had come to meet her. Since he was using abusive words, she was planning to lodge a police complaint.
