Police sources say that the car was registered under the name James William of Siliguri.
The investigation has shown that the vehicle was put up for sale on the platform some time ago
Four different individuals had placed inquiries to purchase the car, one of them being a man from Uttar Pradesh.
The SIT had made its way to the state on Saturday. To find the man who placed the order.
Despite preliminary investigations showing no direct connection between the man and the murder, the agencies are closely examining all possible scenarios.
