In another video, Patidar identified himself as a trader from Patna and named Jitendra Kumar as his business partner. He alleged that the deceased had affairs with both of them.

Patidar claimed that Jharia had borrowed around 12 lakh rupees from Kumar and fled to Jabalpur. He added that he murdered the woman upon Kumar’s instructions. The accused also named Kumar’s aide Sumit Patel.

According to the police, both Kumar and Patel were arrested from Bihar and are being interrogated by the Jabalpur police.

In a third social media post, Patidar says, “Babu heaven mein phir milenge (dear, we’ll meet again in heaven)”.

Special Superintendent of Police Priyanka Shukla said the accused Abhijit Patidar had stayed at Jitender Kumar’s house in Patna for a month. She also revealed that police teams were dispatched in different parts of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat in search of Patidar.

Additional Superintendent of Police Shivesh Baghel said that Patidar had booked a room at Mekhla Resort on November 6. He added that the CCTV footage revealed that Baghel was alone at Mekhla Resort that night. The next day, Shilpa Jharia came to meet him at the resort in the afternoon.

The CCTV footage showed the accused leaving the hotel alone after locking the room an hour after Jharia came to visit.

On November 8, the hotel management broke open the door and found the woman’s body.
