Accused In Dhanbad Judge Murder Case Stole Mobile Phones A Night Before: CBI Sources

Dhanbad District Judge Uttam Anand, 49, was killed on July 28 when an autorickshaw rammed him while he was on his morning run.

The CBI has dug up several new and crucial bits of information related to the alleged murder of a Dhanbad judge last month. This includes the fact that the accused persons had used stolen mobile phones to make several calls before committing the crime, sources in the CBI told NDTV. Earlier, it was found that the two persons arrested in connection with the case, had used a stolen autorickshaw to carry out the alleged murder. Dhanbad District Judge Uttam Anand, 49, was killed on July 28 when an autorickshaw rammed him while he was on his morning run. What was first believed to be a hit-and-run turned out to be far more sinister as CCTV footage showed the vehicle going straight for the judge along a deserted stretch of the road and hitting him seemingly intentionally.
