Man found dead in burnt state in car

NEW DELHI: A 24-year-old man was found dead in a charred state in his car near the Ghazipur area of east Delhi, police said on Sunday.

According to police, the incident must have happened while Anil was returning home in Noida’s Nawada village after distributing invitations for his wedding, scheduled to take place on February 14.

On Saturday, police received three PCR calls at 11.03 pm, 11.07 pm, and 11.13 pm reporting a fire incident near the Ghazipur area.

When they reached the spot, officers found a Maruti Wagon R engulfed in flames. Inside it, was Anil’s charred body.

“When our team reached the spot, they found the car in flames, and a person inside was identified as Anil,” a senior police officer said.

The crime and forensic science laboratory teams were immediately called to the scene to collect evidence. Anil’s body was sent to Lal Bahadur Shastri (LBS) Hospital.

Later, two more calls were made by Anil’s elder brother to police, alleging that his death was part of a conspiracy.

Sumit said that Anil had left home Saturday afternoon to distribute wedding invitations but did not return. When they called to check on him, his phone was found to be unavailable.

Around 11:30 pm, police informed Anil’s family of his death. His family suspects a dispute with the woman he loved, whose father opposed the relationship, may have led to the tragedy. Eyewitnesses say attempts to rescue Anil were unsuccessful. Investigations are ongoing under Section 194.
