Behind a big water container, we saw a hand and then we discovered his body. There were injury marks on his neck and possibly use of some blunt force as there is a mark on his head,” said Pinki, his cousin sister.<br /><br />Police, however, denied any injury mark.<br /><br />“The body was found in decomposed state which may have given the appearance of injury marks. But we are investigating all possible angles and not ruling out the possibility of the involvement of someone known.”<br /><br />However, police also said it is also possible that he fell upside down behind the water container and became unconscious. “Nobody searched for him at home as everyone was busy searching for him outside,” added the officer.</p>
