Harish Kunder
On the morning of Thursday, Harish's body was found in sleeping position. People thought that some labourer who has slept there in the night has not woken up yet. However, people got curious when the youth did not get up even after the sun came up. When the people went near the youth and observed, they noticed that the person has died.
Blood was oozing from his genitals as well as ear. A small cut is noticed on the throat. A red stone that is used for the construction is also noticed slightly damaged near the dead body. In addition, an empty bottle of liquor is also found near the body.
The locals say that the deceased Harish was an electrician by profession and had good rapport with everyone. It is said that people have seen Harish consuming liquor on the afternoon of Wednesday, December 26 at Madhura Bar in Sasthan. However, no one has noticed him after that. Though Harish used to drink, he was not a habitual drinker as per the people who know him. He never used to quarrel with anyone and no one had any enmity with him.
Because of the suspicious circumstances in which Harish's body was found, people are suspecting this as a case of murder.
Kota police have registered a case in this regard and are investigating further. The body has been sent to the hospital for post-mortem.
