According to a relative of Dutta, Dutta along with few of his friends had come to Bihpuria on July 8, 2022, for a wedding. His mother was also present at the wedding function. When she called Chittaranjan’s friends at around 12 am asking about Chittaranjan as she wanted to go home, they told her not to worry and said that they would drop him off at home. However, Chittaranjan did not return home. She again called his friends, but they did not answer her phone calls. Since that day, he has been missing.
He stated that when they learned about the recovery of the skull from a pond close to the residence where he had attended the wedding ceremony, they suspected that someone might have killed Chittaranjan and dumped his body into the pond.
