“The incident was registered in Bihta police station, but the name of Kartikeya Singh was not mentioned in the FIR.The victim recorded the declaration within the CrPC of 164.He only stated that during the time he was abducted, he saw Kartikeya Singh was driving.Police have conducted an investigation and the authorities have not discovered any evidence of involvement in the investigation.In the end, Patna police filed the final report to the court, and the name of Kartikeya Singh was not mentioned.” Sharma elaborated.
“The warrant was issued by the sub-divisional court of Danapur.I do not know of the latest evidence that was presented in the court to support him.The court has the authority to authorize an arrest warrant for anyone,” he said.
