Still groping in the dark in the murder of TV journalist Soumya Viswanathan, Delhi Police on Friday expressed confidence that it will crack the case soon.
NEW DELHI: Still groping in the dark in the murder of TV journalist Soumya Viswanathan, Delhi Police on Friday expressed confidence that it will crack the case soon with investigators working on "two very definite" lines.
Police had recently received an anonymous letter informing them about a brawl between motorcycle-borne youths and a girl at Nelson Mandela Road, where Soumya Viswanathan was found shot dead in her car on September 30.
However, Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) H G S Dhaliwal said the "involvement and linkage of the bikers could not be established during the investigations."
"We got an anonymous letter informing that two men with a Yamaha bike were seen fighting with a woman in white Maruti car at Nelson Mandela road. But it could not be proved that the motorcycle was at the area at the time of crime," he said.
The bike which is carrying a Punjab registration number was originally registered on a Ludhiana address, he said adding the bike was found to be presently used in Delhi but "its involvement and linkage with the crime could not be established during the investigation."
He, however, said a special team has been dispatched to Punjab for further investigation and no possibility could be ruled out at this stage.
A senior police official said the police is working on two lines of investigations so as to crack the case. However, the official refused to divulge details.
Meanwhile, the police said they have succeeded in establishing the sequence of the incidents that followed the murder with the help of various accounts deposed by several people voluntarily or during investigation.
"Several teams are working extensively as we are pursuing two very definite lines of investigation. We hope the case will be solved soon," Dhaliwal added.
However he declined to disclose the direction of investigation "as the probe is not yet over."
Viswanathan was shot dead while she was returning to her Vasant Kunj residence in the wee hours of September 30. Her body was found in her Maruti car at the Nelson Mandela road in South Delhi the same day.
