“We only have the name of the suspect which could be wrong. He also submitted his Adhaar card/IDs at the hotel. Those are being verified. We also have a CCTV footage in which the suspect is seen speaking to the hotel staff at the reception. Our teams are trying to trace him at the earliest,” said Shlok Kumar, superintendent of police (city).
