Crime Branch will conduct further investigation into the mysterious death of a 24-year-old NRI student Anmol Sarna following an alleged drug party with friends as the Delhi police informed a court here.
The police informed chief metropolitan magistrate Lokesh Kumar Sharma about the development when they produced Surender Bali (40) and Naresh Mishra (60), who were deployed as security guards at an apartment in Kalkaji here where Anmol was injured, before him for extension of their judicial custody.
The judicial custody of Mishra and Surender, who were arrested for allegedly assaulting Anmol leading to his death, was extended till 28 October. The police told the court that the investigation of the case has been handed over to its crime branch.
The police’s response came after the family of Anmol had accused Delhi police of shielding his four friends and framing two security guards in his murder and demanded the case be investigated by the crime branch.
During the hearing, the crime branch of Delhi police also informed the court that it has already started work on the case and will investigate the matter from beginning.
Anmol, who had completed his high school from New York, was to return to Canada for further studies but died under mysterious circumstances after a drug party on the intervening night of 13 and 14 September organised at one of his friend’s flat at South Park Apartment in Kalkaji. Police said the party lasted till midnight, after which Anmol was thrashed by the guards for creating a ruckus in the complex. At around 2 AM, Anmol was found bleeding in the apartment complex and later died at a hospital.
Anmol’s friends, accused Madhav Bhandari, Pranil Shah, Shivank Gambhir and Ritham Girhotra, all in their 20s, are presently out of jail on interim bail till 22 October.
