In a significant breakthrough, the Bambooflat Police arrested four more individuals on December 29, 2024, in connection with the high-profile Nisha Rani murder case. The apprehended suspects include Kannan Marappan (36) and Saravanan Ramesh (23), both residents of Tamil Nadu, along with two locals from the Andaman Islands, one of whom is a 17-year-old minor. The operation, conducted in the Shoal Bay area, unfolded with moments of high drama and intense confrontation.
The minor suspect was injured during the operation when he sustained a gunshot wound to the leg. The incident occurred as a sub-inspector fired his service weapon to prevent another suspect from attacking a head constable with a machete. The police’s swift response neutralized the threat and ensured the safe arrest of all four individuals. After medical attention was provided, the suspects were handed over to the Pahargaon Police Station for further investigation.
Background of the Case The murder of Nisha Rani, a 36-year-old resident of Brichgunj, has shocked the local community and spurred extensive investigations. Earlier arrests and evidence pointed to a well-orchestrated conspiracy, leading to intensified efforts by law enforcement to track down those involved. The latest arrests shed light on the extent of planning and collaboration between individuals across states.
Focus on the Minor’s Involvement Investigators revealed that the 17-year-old minor had harbored the main suspects, Kannan and Saravanan, at his residence in Sri Vijaya Puram. The minor, a hotel management student, reportedly befriended the suspects during a flight from Chennai to the Andaman Islands. His role in assisting the suspects by providing shelter highlights the complexities surrounding the case and raises questions about his deeper involvement.
Ongoing Investigations The police have made significant progress but believe that more individuals could be linked to the case. With the suspects now in custody, authorities are delving deeper into the motivations and network behind the crime. Additional operations and investigations are expected to follow as law enforcement works tirelessly to ensure justice for Nisha Rani and her family.
