But, it has not been ascertained whether the woman was raped before being murdered,” said Dinesh Kumar, Superintendent of Police, West Midnapore.
According to the locals, the woman was missing since Tuesday night as she didn’t return home after completing her job. Her family members carried out search for her but whenever she didn’t return in the night; they planned to lodge a missing diary with the police.

Pingla police then initiated a probe into this matter and arrested Ranjan Singh. Police said the accused was known to the victim because he used to do same job along with the victim.
