"We are looking for Agrawal who is missing to question him," said the ASP, who is the investigating officer of the case. No case has been registered against Agrawal yet. "If he is found involved, he would be booked under section 302 of IPC (murder)," Gupta added.
Manish Patel, the victim, was beaten up by some persons with blunt objects under the jurisdiction of Saman police station here on December 1. Patel was taken to the Sanjay Gandhi Medical College Hospital where he succumbed to injuries yesterday.

Police have arrested two persons, Surendra Patel and Vivek Patel, for the assault, ASP Gupta said. The accused beat up Manish Patel over some old enmity, the officer added.
