Patna, May 26: Ten days after a CISF jawan and his second wife allegedly tried to kill his three daughters, the police have managed to find out the woman’s name.

The police had been unable to get the woman’s name even after raiding her parents’ residence at Aungari village in Nalanda district on May 17 and meeting her mother.

Among the three girls, aged between 12 and 18 years, two died on the spot after being fired at by assailants around 1am on May 18 when they were asleep on the roof of their house at Kolhar village at Fatuha on the outskirts of the state capital.

One of the girls managed to survive and is at present admitted to Patna Medical College and Hospital.

“The woman’s name is Rinku Devi. Until now, the police have conducted several raids in Patna and Nalanda districts based on the call details of her husband, Ragho Singh, a CISF jawan posted in Assam. Earlier, the police had said that the couple plotted to eliminate the three girls by hiring professional killers to do the same. Both are at present on the run but the police are sure that they have not yet left the state. Raids are on to nab them,” deputy superintendent of police (Fatuha) Sunita Kumari said today.

Singh, whose first wife died 10 months ago, had married Rinku four months ago.

Sources said the woman’s name came out late as nobody was co-operating with the police.

Sources in the police said Singh had left his home for duty three days ahead of the crime.
