WATCH: Guddu Muslim Caught on CCTV in Bargarh

Bargarh: While, Guddu Muslim, a key accused in the Umesh Pal murder case was located by the Uttar Pradesh police in Bargarh, Odisha, a fresh CCTV footage of the same spot has surfaced and gone viral on social media.

Guddu Muslim can be seen walking into a building in the latest CCTV footage. According to reports, the footage is from April 11, 2023. However, it is unclear where the CCTV camera was located or whose property the Uttar Pradesh criminal was residing in.

Earlier, the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) had arrived in Bagarh after it was discovered that Guddu Muslim had spent roughly 12 days here following a brief stay in Puri. The latest CCTV footage dated April 11 has confirmed the presence of the gangster in Bargarh.

The gangster left Bargarh leaving behind a bag containing his clothes. UP Police’s STF interrogated one Raja Khan, an associate of Guddu’s driver, in Bargarh. According to reports, Raja has told UP STF that Guddu has grown a beard to avoid immediate identification. The UP STF visited Bargarh on April 18 and investigated for two days. They questioned Raja, a businessman of Sohela in Bargarh district.

Confirming it, Bargarh SP Prahlad Sahai Meena had said, “A 5-member team of the STF had visited Bargarh for two days. They grilled a person in connection with their investigation.”

“The UP STF had come here and sought assistance from the local police. The team carried out verifications in the area and returned back. We provided them necessary assistance. They examined a person. We are unaware of their course of investigation. No one was arrested,” Northern Range IG Deepak Kumar had said.
