BHOPAL: Crime branch police have found four more names who suspected to have made hoax call to the Raja Bhoj airport. The cops had detained a 24-year-old man for making hijack call to the airport on Tuesday.

The technical evidence collected by the cops suggest somebody else had made the hoax call using number of the accused.

The accused Ujjwal Jain told police that he had a monetary dispute with some persons and they must have made the call to frame him.

Jain was arrested from Shujalpur as from his number the call was made. However, based on his interrogation, the cops suspect involvement of few other men in the crime. However, police are yet to arrest other alleged suspects.

Jain was quizzed by the crime branch on Wednesday. Additional superintendent of police (ASP) Gopal Dhakad said there are several other angles. Someone else has likely made the call to frame Jain. There are chances that some random caller used technology and used Jainís contact number, without any reason and just for prank, he says.

According to sources, the accused received some money from anonymous source in his account. He told police that he started receiving calls from one of his acquaintances who claimed to have deposited money in his account and asked Jain to give him the amount. Jain refused to return the money and that caller wanted to take revenge since then. However, police are yet to buy this theory and are searching for other suspects.
