Incident and investigation
The incident took place on March 13, when an unidentified person entered Mondal’s house, where she lived alone, and brutally stabbed her to death before fleeing the scene. Following the incident, APMC Police registered a case against an unknown accused and launched an investigation.
During the probe, police examined the victim’s mobile call records and conducted detailed inquiries with neighbours. Suspicion fell on Akhtar after he switched off his mobile phone and absconded after the incident.

To trace the accused, a team from APMC Police Station, along with Crime Branch Unit-1 officers including Assistant Police Inspectors Nilesh Patil and Nilesh Bankar, reached his native place in Kishanganj, Bihar. However, it was found that he had fled to Nepal.
Acting on this information, the police team proceeded to Beldangi village in Jhapa district of Nepal and took the accused into custody. During interrogation, he confessed to the crime.
