Lauding the Titawai police for solving the case within 24 hours, SSP Muzaffarnagar Abhishek Yadav confirmed that the father and son admitted to the murder during interrogation. In their statement to the police, the accused said that Pankaj was stalking their daughter hence they killed him.

The police have recovered Pankaj’s body from the jungles of Village Harsauli. On Friday evening, Pankaj had to go to Village Baghra so he took a lift from Sonu of Kapsad village on his motorcycle. Meanwhile, he received a call on his mobile after which he asked Sonu to leave him there saying that he would return later.
