A team of Kanpur police raided Jitendra’s residence,but did not find him there.

Rinki’s younger sister,who is hearing and speech impaired,had identified Rajveer as one of the assailants. Due to her physical disability,she had been unable to provide a proper description of Jitendra.

The two men had come to Kanpur on May 30 to attend a wedding in Shyam Nagar.
