However, on Monday the family again approached police stating that they don’t want any further police action in the case.
Bhiwadi SP Rammoorty Joshi told TOI, “On Sunday morning, some villagers saw smoke coming out from a shop and intimated police. A team of police rushed to the spot. The shop was closed from inside thus was unlocked with the help of iron rods and other mechanical tools.”
“While our team entered inside a charred body of a man was found. The body was in sitting position on a freezer. Prima facie it appeared to be a case of accident in which fire broke out accidentally. However, on the application of family, we have lodged a case of murder and initiated investigations,” Joshi added.
Police stated that the deceased was also alcoholic and there is a possibility that fire broke out due to smoking cigarette or beedi. “We also called in forensic team at the spot,” said an officer.
However, while police initiated a murder investigation, the family of the deceased on Monday gave a written application stating they don’t want any investigation in the case. “We have lodged an FIR, thus the case would be investigated,” said a senior officer at Khairthal police station.
