In addition, he claimed that the son was a drug addict and had threatened Akash’s life. The family is considering legal actions after consultations.
Meanwhile, Akash’s friend, Dr. Ilmuddin Ansari, said the post Mortem exam was performed due to dirty game suspicions. He added that the report showed signs of torture in the body.
