On Saturday night, we got to know from CCTV footage that he had taken a Jhansi-bound train from the nearby railway station in the morning," an SIT member said."We followed him to Jhansi. He had found work as a labourer there. On Sunday night, a labourer recognised him from his photo and told us he had left for Jhansi railway station after work.
