The two security guards arrested in connection with the murder of a 20-year-old NRI student Anmol Sarna in Kalkaji area on Friday night have reportedly confessed to have assaulted Anmol Sarna.
The guards reportedly said their action was in response to Sarna’s ‘abnormal behaviour’.
Meanwhile, police have received Sarna’s autopsy report and said he died due to self-inflicted injuries and wounds from thrashing by the security guards identified as Surender Bali (46) and Naresh Mishra (60).
‘During interrogation, the guards said that they have thrashed Sarna with batons that led to head, back and hip injuries. Sarna kept behaving abnormally and started running here and there. While running he banged himself against several cars parked there and rammed into a closed iron gate,’ P Karunakaran, deputy commissioner of police (south-east), said.
A police officer said Sarna, who returned from the US around seven months ago, had organised a drug party with his friends Shivang alias Chiki Gambhir (20), Madhav Bhandari (20), Rhythm Girhotra (20) and Pranil Shah (20) on Friday night.
Describing the crime scene, Karunakaran added that the five friends started consuming a powerful drug inside Shah’s flat.
Around 11 pm Sarna became violent and started shouting and behaving abnormally due to a suspected drug reaction. Sarna’s behaviour angered Shah’s father, who turned all the friends out of the house. But Sarna sat outside Shah’s duplex flat on the second floor and kept shouting.
The apartment’s security guards — Bali and Mishra tried to stop him from shouting but he slapped one of them and the two guards beat him up with batons. ‘The thrashing caused injuries to Sarna on his head, back and hips,’ the officials said.
Meanwhile, the family of the NRI student demanded a CBI inquiry into his alleged murder.
