Police is conducting a thorough investigation. The culprits will not be spared. Vikas Kishore was not at the residence when the incident took place. Police detained his friends and the people present there when the incident took place. The deceased body has been taken for post-mortem. Vikas was extremely sad when he got to know about this, the deceased Vinay was a very good friend of my son."
Vikas Shrivastava, brother of the deceased, alleged that the three people in the house killed his brother and said that the broken buttons of the deceased's shirt and the condition under which body was found points out that there was some sort of a fight or scuffle.
