A 29-year-old man,identified scrap dealer was found dead under suspicious circumstances near Gajanana Nagar in Hegganahalli on Monday.
Senior officer told reporters that the Abdul Hussein,who owned a scrap godown at Chaitan Circle in Byadarahalli, had reportedly gone to meet his female friend residing close to his workplace and went off line since then.
Few hours later,the woman’s father had called Abdul’s brother and informed him that Abdul had died by suicide and asked them to come near Gajanana Nagar.
However,when Abdul’s relatives reached the location, they found that the woman’s family members had allegedly placed Abdul’s body inside an autorickshaw and fled the spot.
Abdul’s family later informed the Kamakshipalya police, who visited the scene and began an investigation.
Though the woman’s family claims that Abdul died by suicide and that they were taking him to a hospital after lowering him from a noose,Abdul’s relatives have accused them of murder.
We suspect, prima facie that it could be a case of suicide,but are gathering more evidence to confirm the cause of death.The body has been shifted for postmortem examination.
A case of un natural death has been registered at the Kamakshipalya Police Station and the police are awaiting post-mortem report to ascertain the cause of death.
