Overview

• A local fisherman discovered a decomposed body in a blue sack floating in the Shahzad River on July 16, and police identified the victim as 28-year-old Rani Rekaywar through a tattoo reading “R-Jagdesh.”
• Officers arrested Jagdesh Raikwar while he was planning to flee Lalitpur and formally charged him with murder.
• In his July 18 confession, Raikwar told police he killed Rani because she “wanted to die” after she ended their relationship over his fixed marriage plans.
• Investigators recovered Raikwar’s Google and YouTube searches on methods for killing before he spiked Rani’s drink with poison and strangled her.
• Law enforcement is now processing his digital footprints and forensic clues to assemble evidence for the prosecution.
