According to the programme, Yukesh Chandrakar, the elder brother of Chhote Babu, lodged a report of disappearance at Bijapur Kotwali police station on January 2. Without wasting any time, the Bijapur police organized three investigation teams, with Yulandan Yark as the ASP and Durgesh Sharma as the inspector.
CDR and location data were used to establish the whereabouts of a user for the last time based on the data of deceased individuals. In a bid to reach out to Praveen and Preeti, they visited the home of contractor Suresh Chandrakar in Chattan Para. There is strict monitoring conducted by the Ward councillors, which on 3rd January observed an unusual occurrence in a badminton court that has a newly installed floor over a septic tank. Later, having searched the tank in the presence of a magistrate and other forensic specialists, a number of items linked to the case were discovered.
