In the Uttarakhand teen murder case, audio tapes have surfaced bearing conversations between the victim's friend Pushp and prime accused Pulkit
A day after Pulkit Arya, the son of a former BJP minister, who was arrested on charges of the murder of a 19-year-old receptionist working at an Uttarakhand resort, two audio tapes have emerged that may help further establish Pulkit's role in the crime. The audio tapes reportedly bear conversations between the victim's friend Pushp and Pulkit, after the murder, in which the accused asks the victim's friend if he had any idea where she was.
In the audio tapes, Pulkit seems to be trying his best to mislead Pushp after he was asked about the victim, who had suddenly disappeared after meeting her friends the day before.
In the first audio tape, Pulkit can be heard telling Pushp that he had gone to Rishikesh with the victim and had returned to the resort around 9pm. The next morning, they suddenly realised that the victim had gone missing. He also claimed that he had given his phone to her for the night.
However, preliminary investigations have revealed that Pulkit's phone had probably fallen into the canal where the woman's body was dumped after a fight between her and the accused, including Pulkit.
