Hours after Anuj Thapan, one of the suspects in the Bollywood actor Salman Khan house shooting case, committed suicide on Wednesday, his brother claimed that he was murdered in prison by Mumbai Police.
He also requested that the post-mortem be performed outside of Mumbai. Abhishek Thapan, the deceased accused’s brother, remarked that Anuj was not the type of person to commit suicide, and that his family deserved justice.
Manoj Godara, the Sarpanch of Anuj’s own village, voiced concern about his death and accused the police of murder. “This case was suspicious from the beginning. There were two brothers, one sister, and a mother. They do not have a father.
Anuj formerly worked as a truck driver’s helper. Mumbai Police apprehended him without informing the Panchayat. The family was finally informed 1-2 days later. We are all aware of the level of security offered in police custody.
Salman Khan, the celebrity, is on one side, while the workers are on the other. He said that under coercion, they killed him and pretended it was a suicide.
Anuj Thapan was apprehended in Sangrur, Punjab, on April 26 and is being kept in a crime branch lockup at Mumbai police headquarters. Thapan was arrested along Sonu Kumar Bishnoi for allegedly supplying firearms to shooters Sagar Pal and Vicky Gupta, who had already been captured, according to police.
On Wednesday, he was discovered hanging inside the jail with a bedsheet, transported to the hospital, and pronounced dead during treatment.
