Lucknow (The Hawk): Lucknow police have no idea where a man who allegedly pushed a girl out of a fourth-floor apartment because she refused to convert and marry him is hiding.
The police have offered a reward of Rs 25,000 for information leading to the capture of Sufiyan, two days after the incident.
According to Chiranjeev Nath Sinha, Additional Deputy Commissioner of the West Zone, the police have dispatched a team to New Delhi after learning that the 22-year-old accused was in contact with some businessmen there due to his occupation as a "dyer" in the textile industry.
"A police team also visited the home of Sufiyan's relative in Gudamba, where his father and younger brother were asked about all possible whereabouts and also for a list of their relatives living across the country," Sinha said.
According to police sources, they are currently interviewing witnesses who knew both the victim and Sufiyan.
However, the police have already contacted the forensics team, which will visit the scene and recreate it.
Family members of the victim claimed that Sufiyan exerted intense pressure on her to convert so that the two could get married.
According to police, the couple had an extramarital affair.
