Jalandhar, February 28
Following the death of a 27-year-old migrant labourer, the city police on Sunday made a big revelation that the labourer did not die of any accident, instead, he was killed.
On February 26, victim Sanjit Mahto was reportedly ‘charred to death’ at his room in Lal Bazaar here. He was working at a factory, where jewellery was manufactured. The cops at CIA staff-1 said he didn’t die in the fire incident. He was in fact killed by his friend Sachin Kumar (25), a resident of Sudan Chowk.
DCP Gurmeet Singh said when Sanjit was found dead in his room, he had only a t-shirt on his body. After further probe, it was revealed that Sachin used to visit him regularly and sodomise him. On February 26 also, after intoxicating Sanjit, Sachin sodomised him. However, after Sanjeet’s health deteriorated, he, instead of taking him to a doctor, burnt him alive in his room.
A case was registered against him under Sections 304, 436 and 201 of IPC.
