The body of a 20-year-old student from Jamia Millia Islamia, with a gunshot wound, was found in his car parked inside a gated government colony in south Delhi’s Sarojini Nagar.
The police suspect that Rizwan Khan, national hockey player, commit suicide, but his family is not convinced.
It has emerged that hockey player Rizwan Khan had sent a WhatsApp message that he was going to commit suicide.
“The woman was in Bhopal where she had gone to play in a hockey tournament. But we have found WhatsApp chat where Rizwan had texted her on Monday that he was going to shoot himself if she did not meet him,” said DCP Romil Baaniya.
The Jamia student is believed to have visited the friend’s house on Monday. The police said he left a bag with Rs 2 lakh cash, meant for his brother, and a cellphone at the house. Officers are not sure why he left the bag there.
“It eventually became a one-sided friendship. For the past one and a half years, she was trying to avoid him but he continuously harassed her. Recently she befriended another man which angered him further and he often made threatening calls or messages her family has told us,” said Baaniya.
Riyazuddin Khan, Khan’s brother, said the family tried to call him when he did not return until late evening. While one of his cellphones was switched off, one of the friend’s cousins answered the other. “The cousin said the bag and the phone were at their house, claiming first that they found it somewhere and then that Rizwan himself kept it there and left in a rush,” said Riyazuddin Khan.
The brother also said that the friend’s family did not disclose where they lived despite their fervent pleas. The woman’s family told the police that they did not share the address with Rizwan Khan’s family as they were not convinced that the caller was his relative.
The woman and her family called Khan’s family on Tuesday morning to let them know that they had the bag. Shareef Khan, Rizwan Khan’s father, and his brother Nawab Khan went to collect it. That is when they noticed that the 20-year-old’s car was parked nearby. Nawab Khan found the car unlocked and his nephew dead.
“We think he was killed and then the body was kept in the car afterward as there were no bloodstains inside,” Shareef Khan said.
