One of the local residents said, “We didn’t hear anything. Streetlights in the area aren’t working. We have been complaining about it repeatedly. Also, it was raining yesterday owing to which people must have shut their windows. Initially we thought it was some drunkard sleeping between the cars, but a closer inspection revealed blood. We do not know him.”
