DSP murder: Experts to sift through lakhs of phone calls

Deputy Commissioner of Police,Ashish Choudhry said,“The team of experts will reach Ludhiana by Sunday and would analyse the data. We have collected data from all the service providers and have the entire software in place. The data is voluminous and the team will stay with us till the task is complete.”

When asked about the ‘volume’, Choudhry said,“In a city like Ludhiana,a single tower receives some 40,000 calls in an hour and here we are looking at all the towers that are located in and around the area of the crime.” The DSP and Monica were found murdered at a farm house located on Hambran Raod.

The DCP added that the police officials already gone through the calls details of DSP Gill who carried three mobile phones and Monica’s number too. “Apart from establishing that the two knew each other there is nothing else that we could find from the calls that the two exchanged.

“We are looking for that third person who was in the area of crime on February 1 and stayed there till wee hours of February 2. It is these numbers that we need to zero down on. The service providers have sent us details of lakhs of calls and the same can be sifted by experts only. So we roped in these telephone call experts. As far as this video footage is concerned we have some four hard disks full,” he added.
