Report on Recent Murder Investigations and Police Actions Across India
Introduction
Police departments in several parts of India have recently arrested suspects and started investigations into multiple deaths caused by different motives and occurring at different times.
Main Body
In Kathua, police arrested 19-year-old Parth Verma after Nakul Singh was killed and Nikhil Singh was seriously injured. Senior Superintendent of Police Mohita Sharma emphasized that the attack was caused by a romantic rivalry. Investigators used technical surveillance and the victim's mobile phone to get a confession, which revealed that the suspect used a cricket bat during the fight. Meanwhile, the Gujarat police solved a cold case from 1992. After digging up skeletal remains from a house in Ahmedabad, DNA tests confirmed the victim was Farzana Doshu Radhanpuri. Consequently, Shamshuddin Khedawala and his brother, Iqbal, were arrested for allegedly killing the woman and burying her in a pit. In Kolkata, Debojit Jana was arrested after his wife claimed he had strangled their five-month-old daughter. Police used CCTV footage to prove the suspect was near a trash bin on May 3, where the baby's body was reportedly left. Furthermore, in Basai village, authorities are investigating the discovery of an unidentified 55-year-old woman. Preliminary reports suggest she suffered a severe head injury from a heavy object. Because the victim had no personal belongings, police believe someone tried to hide her identity, and they are now checking missing persons lists and security cameras.
Conclusion
These different cases show how police use both traditional questioning and modern forensic methods to catch criminals and secure convictions.

β‘ The 'Connecting' Secret: Moving from Simple to Sophisticated
At the A2 level, you likely use and, but, and because to connect your ideas. To reach B2, you need to use "Logical Connectors." These are words that tell the reader how two ideas relate, making your English sound professional and fluid.
𧩠The Upgrade Map
Look at how the article replaces basic words with B2-level transitions:
-
**Instead of "And/Also" Furthermore
- Example: "...strangled their five-month-old daughter. Furthermore, in Basai village..."
- B2 Logic: Use this when you are adding a new, important piece of information to a list.
-
**Instead of "So" Consequently
- Example: "...confirmed the victim was Farzana Doshu Radhanpuri. Consequently, Shamshuddin... were arrested."
- B2 Logic: Use this to show a direct result or a legal effect.
π Precision Vocabulary: The 'Action' Verbs
B2 fluency isn't just about big words; it's about precise words. Notice these shifts in the text:
| A2 Word (Simple) | B2 Word (Precise) | Why it's better |
|---|---|---|
| Said | Emphasized | Shows the speaker is adding strength/importance. |
| Found | Discovery | Sounds more formal and official. |
| Proved | Confirmed | Implies a process of verification (like DNA). |
π‘ Pro-Tip: The "Passive" Shift
B2 speakers often move the focus from who did it to what happened.
- A2 Style: "Police arrested Parth Verma." (Active)
- B2 Style: "...the baby's body was reportedly left." (Passive)
Why? In reports, the action (the body being left) is more important than the person doing it. Using was/were + past participle allows you to sound objective and academic.
