“There had been no report of extortion demand in the last one month and hence this angle can be ruled out.It seems the miscreants came from outside,” Das said.

A police contingent led by Barrackpore police commissioner Manoj Verma reached the spot.

He said the police will investigate all the angles and try to nab the miscreants at the earliest.
