Ambala, September 11

The Ambala police have booked three persons on charge of culpable homicide after a man died under mysterious circumstances.

The deceased has been identified as Sahil Rana, a resident of Babyal village, Ambala Cantonment. He used to work in the Merchant Navy in Dubai. A case under Sections 120-B, 304 and 328 of the IPC was registered against Monty Rana, Suraj and Ashish at the Mahesh Nagar police station today.

Sahil’s father Ashok Kumar, in his complaint to the police, stated that his son used to come home on holiday after nine months.

“Sahil informed me over phone that he would be reaching home on September 6, but he didn’t come. When we tried to contact him, his mobile was switched off. On September 7, Monty Rana, a resident of our village, came to our house and informed that Sahil was unwell and he is admitted to Rotary Club Hospital in Ambala Cantonment. My younger son Paras, along with his friends, went to the hospital, where he was informed that Sahil was lying dead,” he said.

Ashok said when he, along with his brother, reached the hospital, the doctor informed them that Sahil was brought there on September 7. Earlier, he was admitted to Healing Touch Hospital in Ambala City.

“We came to know that when Sahil reached Ambala on September 6, Monty Rana, Suraj and Ashish, all residents of same village, made him sit in their car. Following an old rivalry, they gave him some poisonous substance or drug overdose and kept roaming with him. After Sahil’s health deteriorated, they got him admitted to Healing Touch Hospital. My son has been killed under a well-planned conspiracy”, said Ashok.

Suresh, SHO of the Mahesh Nagar police station, said: “A case has been registered and the matter is being investigated.”
