July 26th, 2012 - 9:13 pm ICT by IANSPatna, July 26 (IANS) A railway police official was suspended in Bihar’s Bhagalpur district for failing to cooperate in a probe into the killing of a youth from Assam, police said Thursday.
The body of Pritam Bhattacharjee, 25, was found near a railway station on the Barauni-Katihar route July 17.
Manish Kumar, in-charge of the Naugachia government railway police station, was suspended by the superintendent on charges of not cooperating in the investigation.
Bhattacharjee had gone missing July 9 from Naugachia station in Bhagalpur, about 200 km from here.
Police have recovered Bhattacharjee’s rucksack and asked forensic experts to examine it.
