After the death of Lakshman Paswan, the main accused in the murder of 30-year-old Ruby Sah of Madhopur, located in Madhavnarayan Municipality-6 of Rautahat, everyone is wondering what will happen to the case.

The investigating police could not conclude that Ruby's lover Lakshman Paswan was responsible for the murder, and made a 9-minute video, Lakshman set himself on fire taking responsibility for the murder. The police arrested him from the side of the road from Madhavpur to Samanpur in Rautahat . During the treatment, Lakshman died at Burn Hospital in Kirtipur. 

In the investigation so far, it has been revealed that the main accused is Lakshmanara . Experts in criminal law have commented that this case will not be further investigated and prosecuted as no other person has been involved in the police investigation. Chapter-12 of the Civil Penal Code states that no action should be taken with the intent to kill in a crime related to life . If Laxman had not died, he would have been investigated under this system and a chargesheet would have been filed in the district court. But because of his death, now the matter of investigation is over, criminal law expert and former secretary of the Supreme Court Bar  Advocate Rishiram Ghimire said. He commented that with the end of charges in criminal offences, the prosecution will also end . He said that there are dozens of precedents in the Supreme Court in this regard.

Now the police can submit a file to the district attorney's office saying that there is only one main accused in the incident and that the case will not be prosecuted as he died during the investigation . Based on the investigation report of the police, the District Public Prosecutor's Office closes the file saying that the case will not proceed . If others are also accused, then there is no need to claim the punishment in the case of the deceased person and the indictment should have been submitted claiming in the case of others . If the death occurred while pending in the court, the court should have been informed that the reason for the closure has ended due to death . In the case of Ruby, the public prosecutor can close the file.

What does the police say?

District Police Chief Superintendent of Police Netramani Giri said that since the main accused who killed Ruby has died, the investigation will continue to see if others are also involved. 'Now the investigation is ongoing . We are working on this,' he said, 'Our investigation will continue to see if there are others involved in the incident.'

He said that the missile of killing Ruby will not be stopped now. The police say that the victim also suspects that others are involved in the murder.
