The post-mortem report of Anuj Thapan, an accused in the April 14 firing incident outside the Bandra house of actor Salman Khan, confirmed he died of hanging. According to the police, there were ligature marks on his neck and signs of asphyxia. However, later in the day, Thapan's kin refused to take the body, claiming he was "tortured and murdered" and sought a CBI probe in the matter.
Thapan, who was held from Punjab along with his associate Sonu Bishnoi on April 26 and is accused of supplying firearms and bullets for the firing incident, was found dead in the lock-up of the Crime Branch at Crawford Market on Wednesday. He had allegedly hanged himself with a bed sheet in the toilet of the lock-up, as per police.
