After the post-mortem examination, a case was registered on Thursday. The body has several internal and external injuries. No leads have materialised so far in the case.”

Yesterday at 7am, we received a call from a relative in Gurugram, who informed us that he was found dead. We rushed to the city and informed the police. His body had multiple injuries on the head and thighs. We do not have any enmity with anyone. I had spoken to Sandeep during the last week and he did not mention any animosity with anyone.”
