Editor's Note: Local sources claim that the
victim had practiced black magic in the area. Residents suspect the killing may
have been motivated by personal enmity related to his activities. Another
source reported that on the same night he was abducted, he was taken to the
Hemanta Para area of Mahalchhari, killed there, and his body was later dumped
into the Chengi River.
