Lucknow, May 31: BELIEVE it or not, 24 hours after Manila Verma, 22, was found strangulated to death at the rented flat of one Madhav Gupta, a resident of Ballia, two police stations are still fighting over who would lodge a case.
Gupta, who the police say was in love with the girl but killed her, is on the run. The police had entered the house in Aliganj last evening after neighbours complained of a foul smell. They found the decomposed body of Verma, who had been missing since Saturday. She was holding a love letter with Madhav Gupta’s name in her hand.

Daughter of Hari Om, who lives in Sector 4 of Vikas Nagar, Verma got acquainted with Gupta recently when he came to Lucknow to prepare for the medical entrance examinations. The police have detained a boy, Shailesh Chaurasia, son of a sub-inspector posted in Azamgarh, as they suspect that the girl was introduced to Gupta by Chaurasia. No motive for the murder has been established.
No FIR has been registered so far at either the Aliganj or Vikas Nagar police station. While a missing report was lodged by the girl’s father at Vikas Nagar, the body was found in the jurisdiction of the Aliganj police station. ‘‘The murder occurred in Aliganj police station’s area and the case should be lodged there,’’ said the station officer of Vikas Nagar, Inspector Laxman Verma. His counterpart at the Aliganj police station, Inspector D D Tiwari, countered this, pointing out that since the circumstances of the crime originated in Vikas Nagar (the missing report was registered there), the FIR should be registered there. He added that they could relent if the other police station didn’t agree. A police team did go to Ballia for arresting Gupta but he had left the house before they reached, said Aliganj SO Tiwari.
Shailash is a classmate of the victim at College of Art, affiliated to LU. ‘‘Manila was having an affair with Madhav Kumar Gupta who is the son of Dr Shiv Singh in Ballia. He was a tenant of one S B Velan and was preparing for the CPMT examination. He used to visit the college in the morning to meet the girl,’’ Shailesh told this reporter.
On May 29, a missing report had been registered at the Vikasnagar police station. According to Manila’s family, she had left the house on May 28 at 6.30 pm, saying she would return soon. When she did not return till the evening of May 29, they lodged a complaint at the police station.
