Reports further state that, serial killer identified as Kamruzzaman Sarkar, is a small-time trader of discarded materials. He was arrested in Kalna area based on CCTV footage the police recovered from near the house of one of the victims. Police stopped their investigation after they zeroed in on a man riding a red-and-black motorcycle with a nylon bag tied to its pillion. The bag contained a chain and an iron rod which police believe was used in the crimes.

In order to nab Sarkar, the police had prepared a sketch based on the description provided by the survivors and circulated it around the district. Two other women narrowly escaped strangulation as they fought hard.

According to East Burdwan Superintendent of Police, Bhaskar Mukhopadhyay, Sarkar would enter homes during afternoon hours in the pretext of taking electricity meter readings and then pounce upon the women with a cycle chain and an iron rod. He would have sex with the women after murdering them. Police suspect that Kamaruzzaman Sarkar was also involved in murders dating as far back as 2013.

"Post mortem reports confirmed that two of the victims were sexually assaulted. We have sought Sarkar's custody to interrogate him on his role in the other four murders, all of which were committed in the same manner," said Bhaskar Mukherjee, superintendent of police, East Burdwan.

Meanwhile, the police further added that the accused had allegedly inserted sharp materials into the private parts of some of his victims following their death. "We are interrogating him to understand why he targeted middle-aged women," the SP said.

Police are yet to ascertain whether Sarkar, who is a father of three children is psychologically imbalanced.
