Upon our request, when the hospital staff showed us his face, we found injury marks on the neck. Looking at these marks, we are sure that he was murdered after being tortured.
Anuj’s grandfather further said – We will not accept this dead body until the demand for CBI investigation is met. If the demand is accepted, we will claim the body by tomorrow. A CBI investigation should be conducted into this matter and the police personnel involved in the death should be punished.
