But the accused was not traced, and the Bengaluru City Police filed a ‘C’ report before closing the case as they could not catch the accused even after years of search by 50 teams. But DCP Central Sandeep Patil had said that investigation will not be stopped completely.

Sources said that Madhukar has confessed to the crime. But the Karnataka police have not given any official confirmation on the matter.
