Police identified Kalua as the man who attacked the inspector with the axe. On December 28, they had arrested Prashant Nutt for pulling the trigger on Singh.
The inspector was part of a team which was called in to control a mob that had become violent after more than 20 cows were found slaughtered in the outskirts of a village. Subodh Kumar was attacked by the villagers who hit him with rocks and beat him with sticks. His car was chased to the field where he was attacked by Kalua and shot by Nutt. The inspector's body was found in an SUV in the middle of a field.
Another village youth, too, was killed in the mob violence.
