Mysuru: In a shocking turn of events, the Police allegedly built their case against Rajesh largely on the fact that the missing woman had made a phone call to her family using his mobile phone on the day she disappeared.

Rajesh had repeatedly told the Police that he had merely lent his phone to the woman when she approached him at the Pandavapura bus stand seeking help to call her family. What began as an act of kindness towards a stranger ultimately landed him in jail on murder charges.

According to Rajesh’s advocate K.B. Natesh, his client was tortured and administered electric shocks to extract a confession.
