Anti-Terror Agency Recreate Sequence Of Events In Amravati Chemist's Killing: Report

The National Investigation Agency had earlier taken over the custody of all the seven accused in the case.

A team of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday recreated the sequence of events that led to the alleged murder of a chemist in Amravati last month, Press Trust of India reported quoting police sources.

The central probe agency brought two of the seven accused arrested in the case to Amravati from Mumbai to reconstruct the crime scene.

Chemist Umesh Kolhe, 54, died after being stabbed in the neck around 10 pm on June 21 when he was returning home after closing his shop. He was murdered for allegedly sharing a post in some WhatsApp groups in support of now-suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma for her comments on Prophet Mohammad.

On Wednesday morning, the NIA team brought the two accused - Taufiq alias Nanu Sheikh Taslim, 24, and Atib Rashid Adil Rashid, 22 - and recreated the sequence of events, the police sources said.
