Accused Identified in Krishnagar Murder; Police Probe Gaming Link
A young woman named Ishita was murdered, and the police have caught the person they think did it, Deshraj Singh.
Ishita's mother and brother picked Singh out of a lineup, confirming he was the one.
Police say Singh did it because he was upset about being rejected by Ishita.
Both Ishita and Deshraj were really into online shooting games.
The police are looking into whether the games had anything to do with the crime.
They think the virtual world of the games might have blurred the lines for them and maybe made it harder to deal with real life.
They are warning that too much time in virtual worlds can sometimes lead to serious problems.
Deshraj Singh, the prime accused, was identified by the victim's mother and brother.
The identification took place during a test identification parade at Krishnagar.
Singh was arrested near the Indo-Nepal border after fleeing the scene.
Police believe the motive was Singh's frustration over a failed relationship.
Police are investigating a possible connection between online gaming and the crime.
