Hours after Anuj Thapan, one of the accused in the Bollywood actor Salman Khan house firing case, died by suicide on Wednesday, his brother claimed that he was murdered by the Mumbai Police in custody. He further demanded that his post-mortem should be conducted outside Mumbai.

Abhishek Thapan, the brother of the deceased accused, said that Anuj was not the kind of person who would commit suicide and demanded justice.

“Anuj was taken by Mumbai Police from Sangrur 6-7 days ago. Today, we received a call that Anuj had committed suicide. He was not the kind who could have committed suicide. He was murdered by the police. We want justice. He worked as a truck helper,” Abhishek Thapan was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

The Sarpanch of the deceased’s native village, Manoj Godara also raised a suspicion over Anuj’s death and accused the police of murdering him. “This case is suspicious from the beginning. They were two brothers, one sister and one mother. They don’t have a father. Anuj used to work as a helper to a truck driver. He was taken by Mumbai Police without informing the Panchayat. Even, the

family was only informed 1-2 days later. We all know how much security is there in police custody.”

“On one side is superstar Salman Khan and on the other side are the labourers. Under pressure, they have killed him and framed it as a suicide,” he added.
