HYDERABAD: The special police teams that went to Nepal in search of four suspects in connection with financier Jasbir Singh's murder case returned to the city empty-handed.

It is now confirmed that the four suspects -Dileep, Prem, Chota Suneel and Satya -- who worked in the financier's house, fled to their native village Dhanasinga in Nepal soon after the financier was murdered. "Somehow, the quartet got information that we are after them and disappeared by the time we descended on their village," a member of the team said.

All the four were Gorkhas and joined the financier's house at different points of time during the past one or two years.

The missing link?

Their names were referred by one Raju, also a Gorkha and from the same village, who earlier worked in Singh's house. Incidentally, Raju too returned to the village a month ago.

"We're not sure if there is really any connection between Raju and the quartet," an investigator said. Meanwhile, police are still confused about the motive behind the murder. They suspect there is more to the murder than what meets the eye.

According to them, the victim was murdered while he was fast asleep. "If only taking away the cash was their motive, the killers would have walked away with the money since the victim was sleeping and there was none to resist," a police officer associated with the investigation said.

Hence, there must be some other strong motive behind the killing, the police believe.
