"The arrested person has confessed to his crime. The amount of Rs 3 lakh that Chakraborty had collected from borrowers of the private bank has also been recovered.

"We are trying to find out whether there were others involved and were there any other motives," he added.

Chakraborty was reported missing on August 30.

The sack containing the body parts surfaced later and Chakraborty was identified by his shirt, the police had said earlier.

The victim was a resident of Chakdaha in Nadia district and was stationed in Domjur for work.
