"Biswas disclosed that after Roy's father lodged a case in the local police station, he made a call to Hardeep and asked him eliminate Roy and get off from there sensing police action," the officer said.
"The arrested accused disclosed that Deepak and Hardeep then murdered Roy. They revelaed that the duo dipped Roy's head in a pit full of water and stabbed him several times till he died," he said.
Police said efforts are on to arrest two others accused in the case including Hardeep.
