“During investigation, it appeared that his mobile phone had been switched off since 11 p.m. on Sunday. As he did not come to office on Monday, a colleague of his tried to contact him. Since his phone was switched off, the colleague went to the rented house of Suryakant and found him dead in the washroom,” said Shambhu Yadav, SHO of Katoria police station.
“We have recovered the dead body from the spot and sent it for post-mortem. We have also recovered a liquor bottle and cigarettes from his house. It seems that he was accompanied by someone else. The main door of the house was also open,” Yadav said.
“We have called the FSL team to collect samples. The post-mortem report is awaited. We are trying to establish the fingerprints from the objects, especially a liquor bottle to find some clues about the accused. There were no external marks on the body. Hence, its looks like it was a friendly entry and the accused probably mixed something in his drink,” Yadav said.
