Meanwhile, all the three were captured in CCTV cameras installed around the cremation ground. Aman had arrived on his bike with the tantric and his friend. Police Station in-charge Neeraj Kumar said that a large quantity of suspicious and objectionable material related to tantra-mantra and numerous photographs of women and men were recovered from the hideout of accused.
