Chapter 11: The Devil Disappears

——The police and psychiatric experts joined forces, but the killer vanished without a trace.

But no one knew this man, and he was never seen again.

At this point, the authorities were dissatisfied with the police’s progress, so they sent 12 new officers to assist in the investigation.

Together with local police and informants, they formed a special task force of about 200 people.

This time, Arjun was appointed leader of the new task force.

He immediately made a crucial decision: he dispatched all personnel undercover to local bus and railway stations, with informants even in the remotest parks.

'No one can disappear in this city,' he declared. 'Let’s see if he can hide from a thousand eyes.'

Arjun told his team: they needed to find a man aged 25–30, tall, with AB blood type.

Anyone matching these criteria had to undergo a blood test.

Arjun did everything he could at the time.

A large number of suspects were screened.

For example, one day in September 1984, two investigators spotted a suspicious man at the Rajpur bus stand.

He wore glasses and kept looking for opportunities to chat up young women.

He also conducted a street transaction with a sex worker in an alley.

The investigators searched his briefcase, finding a knife, a can of Vaseline, a rope, and a dirty towel.

Suspicious, right? The police thought so too.

Remember, there was a case with an eyewitness description.

The suspect described by the witness closely resembled this man with glasses.

They checked him out.

The police investigated the man’s background and took his blood for testing.

It turned out, the man with glasses had a clean record—he’d even been a school teacher.

Remarkable. Who would suspect someone so respectable?

But that was the reality of the time: people with respectable exteriors committing unspeakable crimes, women forced into prostitution for a meal, society in chaos.

The blood test results came back, further clearing the man with glasses. He had type A blood—not the killer’s AB.

With the blood type as evidence, the police had to let him go.

After finally finding a suspect who matched the description, it turned out to be the wrong person again. This time, even Arjun felt he was at a dead end.

Even if the mass investigation had improved public order, so what? The murderer was still at large.
