  • Three diaries recovered from Madhumita's house have details of her various appointments in the past five months. "The entries have been written in a code language. If and when this code is cracked and the entries deciphered, there will be many people in positions of power who will be terribly embarrassed," a police official told Outlook.

  • Madhumita had used politicians to launch her career as a poet. Despite not being prominent in the literary scene, she featured in major poetry sessions in the Hindi heartland. Many of those who helped her rise later demanded favours from her. A serious probe could reveal the names of those who patronised her.

  • The two cellphones seized from Madhumita's residence could reveal the identity of those she kept in touch with.

  • Most of her political friends were from the ruling BSP-BJP alliance.

  • Should Tripathi be charged, it would severely impact chief minister Mayawati's already controversy-ridden and beleaguered political image.
