Dency and NRI businessman Harris hailing from Kozhikode were found dead in Dubai in 2020. According to police, they have obtained evidence that suggests Shaibin Ashraf, the key accused in Nilambur murder case plotted to kill Harris and the woman.
According to the police, Shaibin Ashraf’s aides also claimed that the woman was murdered.
