According to police sources, after Firdaus murdered the vagrant, he brought his body to the courtyard of a paternal cousin's house next door. He tried to wash the corpse with tap water. At that time, one of his sisters-in-law saw him. She asked what he was doing there. Firdaus reportedly replied that the tap area of this house was paved and cemented. It was convenient for washing, so he had come there. When the sister-in-law screamed, he fled.
Investigators claim that since the body was emaciated, the accused had no difficulty carrying it away. After this, when he went home and started creating trouble, the family members arranged to send him to rehab. After all these incidents occurred on Saturday night, Firdaus's own brother went to the local Nayarhat police outpost on Sunday morning and reported the entire incident, after which police swung into action. He was then arrested from Chakchaka Rehab Center.
Sahebganj police station officers suspect that the vagrant was hacked to death with a knife or something sharp. Police suspect that after the murder, he threw the knife into a local pond. It is reported that Firdaus will be taken to the scene to try to recover it.
