In a chilling turn of events, police in Korba, Chhattisgarh, have stumbled upon what they believe to be the remains of Salma Sultana Lashkar, a young news anchor who mysteriously vanished five years ago. While authorities are confident in their assessment, the family of the missing woman has yet to officially confirm the identity of the remains, leaving a cloud of uncertainty hanging over the tragic discovery. The revelation came to light when a skeleton was unearthed, accompanied by a pair of sandals, raising both questions and heartache for Salma's family and the community she once served.
Salma Sultana Lashkar, just 18 years old, had established herself as a promising news anchor in Kusmunda, a locality within Korba. Known for her captivating reporting and engaging shows, she vanished without a trace on October 21, 2018. Despite fervent efforts by her family to locate her and the official report filed about her disappearance, the young anchor's fate remained an enigma—until now.
The breakthrough in the case was facilitated by information gleaned from individuals who were apprehended by the police. According to City Superintendent of Police, Robinson Gundiya, three suspects were arrested in connection with Salma Sultana's alleged murder. Among them is Madhur Sahu, a gym instructor and her live-in partner at the time of her disappearance. The other two arrested individuals have been identified as Kaushal Srivas and Atul Sharma. Together, they are accused of perpetrating the heinous crime against the young news anchor.
Reports from the ongoing investigation indicate that the three suspects confessed to strangling Salma Sultana and subsequently burying her remains. A case has been registered against them at the Kotwali police station, encompassing a range of charges related to their alleged actions. In their pursuit of justice, law enforcement also seized crucial evidence, including a laptop, a hard disk, and a vehicle believed to have been used in disposing of the body.
A noteworthy twist emerged as investigators delved deeper into Salma's financial history. It was uncovered that she had obtained a loan from a local bank, and shockingly, deposits were still being made into her account by none other than Madhur Sahu. This revelation prompted intense interrogation, during which Madhur and Kaushal confessed to their roles in Salma's demise, implicating Atul as their accomplice. Their grim tale unfolded as they admitted to burying her near Kohdiya Bridge. However, the ongoing investigation faces a significant hurdle—the very location where they claim to have buried her is now traversed by a highway, impeding the search for the missing anchor's remains.
