Indore (Madhya Pradesh): A youth, suspect of mobile theft, was found hanging at a vacant flat in Silicon City under Rau police station limits on Wednesday evening.

The family members alleged foul play that he was being killed by someone. The deceased was identified as Shravan Dangi, a resident of Kadambiri Nagar.

He was allegedly involved in a mobile theft that occurred three days prior to the incident in a hostel. However, the police denied such claims in the initial investigation. The flat where Shravan’s body was found had been locked by a broker who was overseeing repair work.

Mihir filed a report with the police on April 7 and shared the footage, but alleged that police did not take his complaint seriously. He and his friends later tried to trace the suspect using the footage and claimed that the man seen in the video closely resembled Shravan.
