Kannur, Irikkur police on Friday arrested a youth hailing from West Bengal in connection with the murder of his friend. According to police, they arrested Pareshnath Mandal (26) for murdering his friend Ashikul Islam (26) two months back. Both of them hail from Moorshidabhad in West Bengal. The body was buried in the basement area of an under construction building. Search is on to nab one more accused involved in the murder, said the police. A group of labourers from West Bengal engaged in construction work were residing in a rented house at Pervulath Paramba near Irikkur. Ashikkul Islam's brother had filed a complaint about the missing victim to the Irikkur police on June 28. During the investigation, police found that two youths in the group had returned to their native place after the incident and their mobile phones were switched off. Last week, Pareshnath Mandal's mobile number was located at Mumbai which led to the arrest of the accused.
