Bollywood megastar Salman Khan arrived back into the city, keeping a low profile after wrapping up his brief trip to London for professional engagements. His arrival coincided with the unfolding drama surrounding the reported suicide of one of the accused individuals in the recent firing incident. Salman's return thrust him into the midst of controversy, as relatives of the deceased accused levelled accusations against the police, alleging foul play in the demise of Anuj Thapan.
The family of Anuj Thapan, the accused involved in the shooting incident outside Salman Khan's residence, are claiming that his death in police custody, labelled as "suicide," was actually a "killing." They are calling for an autopsy to be performed outside Mumbai, claiming that Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has 'influence' in the state.
Andhra Pradesh Police arrested five persons here Tuesday in connection with the death by suicide of a minor girl student, who made sexual harassment allegations against her college officials, said an official.
According to police, the 77-year-old Ganeshamurthi had allegedly tried to kill himself after consuming some poisonous tablets on March 24 at his home here. He was rushed to a hospital here and later referred to another private institute in Coimbatore. The Erode Town police has already registered an attempt to suicide case. This will now be altered to a death by suicide case, police said.
