Detectives had earlier appealed for information about a white van and motorcycle pictured on Aylestone Road, Leicester, on the night of Mr Jogiya's disappearance.

Police said three men featured in another appeal in connection with this death had been traced.

Two men, aged 22 and 18, have been released under investigation and two men, aged 20 and 21, have been released with no further action.
