The sender referred to himself as a resident of Fatehpuri in Delhi. Ajmer Police, on Monday, referred the matter to the Delhi police who began process to locate the sender.

"The letter, received at a media office in Ajmer, mentions names of five persons from Chhattisgarh. It may be a case of revenge where the sender might be trying to harass the persons named in the letter. Fatehpuri is too big and it is not easy to locate the sender," said SHO Madanganj police station, Narendra Singh Meena.

The letter said the accused brought the victim to Delhi on pretext of getting her role in a movie and later blackmailed her. Meena said the Delhi police might send a team to the addresses of the persons named as accused, if the address of the sender was verified.

The police in Ajmer found the body from a trunk dispatched as parcel through Milap Transport Roadlines Company at Pili Kothi in Delhi to Krishna Transport Company in Kishangarh, Ajmer.
