Why Shahbaz killed Neel Kusum?

Preliminary reports suggest that accused Shahbaz befriended the victim 3 years ago when he worked as a conductor in passenger bus and the girl used to travel by it. Accused later shifted to Ahmedabad in Gujarat for work and both of them stayed in touch via phone.

According to Dainik Jagran report, Shahbaz took a flight from Gujarat to Chattisgarh and reached girl’s house as the latter was ignoring his phone calls. Report also says that the accused used to talk to victim over WhatsApp calls.
Reports also suggest that Neel Kusum wasn’t taking Shahbaz’s call for sometime but he used to call her repeatedly.
Meanwhile, the police have lodged a case and 4 teams have been constituted to nab the absconding accused.
