Ranchi: Police are yet to find any clue to the killing of a Jharkhand magazine's editor whose body was found in a house here several days after he went missing.
The decomposed body of Nalin Mishra, editor of the fortnightly Jharkhand Today, was recovered Monday night but the autopsy report did not mention any injury mark. The report suggests that Mishra was killed March 30.
He went missing on March 28 and his body was exhumed from the Dibidih area of Ranchi.
Police suspect the editor was killed by a woman but have failed to establish her identity. This is the first time that a journalist has been killed in Ranchi.
But Ranchi journalists, unhappy with the investigation, said if police had swung into action when Mishra went missing he could have been saved.
"It seems police are bunking a proper investigation of the case and only trying to establish a female connection to the killing. Police contradicted themselves by saying earlier that four people were involved in the killing," alleged Satyendra Singh, a journalist of the daily Avenue Mail.
"The name of a St. Xavier's College girl (that has been) taken does not figure in the college register," contended Singh.
Police said Mishra was in debt and had borrowed from many people but ruled out that the killing was because of money.
