Srinagar: The family of Abdul Manan Wani, an engineering student who was found dead in mysteriously Ghaziabad UP a few days back, Friday contradicted the police claims that he had committed suicide.
Prof Sharif Wani, uncle of the deceased said, There are some missing links in police claims. His body was not hanging from the ceiling fan but tied to exhaust vent opening above the door (roshan daan) with a bed sheet and not by a rope, as was claimed by the police and reported by a section of media.
The door of his room was not locked, it was wide open. All this leads to think that this mysterious death is not a natural death at all but a cold blooded murder, he said.
Manan was pursuing Engineering course at SRM College Ghaziabad and was living in a private building.
Prof Wani said that Mannan had left his home town Srinagar on the August 10 to continue with his degree classes in Ghaziabad and was found dead on September 4. That means he had returned from Kashmir 25 days ago and not three days ago as claimed by the police and reported in media. He was found dead by the landlord of the building he lived in, and not by college authorities, he said.
The landlords son informed us about his death on September 4 at 10:35 pm. Thus, it is beyond fact that some Navneet came to the deceased room at 1 am and found him hanging. After the call, we spoke to the police investigating officer, Uday Singh present at the site on the landlords sons cell phone and he confirmed that Mannan is dead, he added.
Prof Wani said that when the family members went there (Ghaziabad) they were not shown the body neither before post mortem nor after that. Police didnt show us FSL reports and termed it a suicide which is incorrect and pathetic. They want to close the case as portraying it as suicide, he claimed.
Inspector General Police (IGP) Kashmir Abdul Gani Mir said they are in touch with UP police and are ensuring they do the proper investigation. Premia-facie they (UP police) have told us it is a suicide but further investigations are going on, he said.
Meanwhile, the body of Manan which reached here around 11.45 am was laid to rest at his ancestral grave yard Buchwara, Dalgate. Thousands of locals and other people took part in his nimaz-e-jinazah.
