A dead body of a middle aged man was found hanging outside a shop in Samastipur. The incident is near Arvind Chowk of Patori police station area. The deceased has been identified as Guru Charan (55), a resident of Kavi Chowk. Gurucharan’s dead body was found hanging outside the shop, which is the Asbestos shop of a person named Chandeshwar Das, in which he used to work and used to stay inside the same shop day and night. When people were passing through the road on Friday morning, they saw his dead body hanging from the noose.
Family alleges murder
Relatives say that the deceased was working in the said shop for the last one decade. Haven’t had any problems so far. The relatives have alleged that after killing them, the body was hanged. On the other hand, some people also say that the deceased was going through a period of financial crisis these days, so it is also possible that Gurucharan would have committed suicide, although this case seems suspicious due to the condition of the spot. People are also questioning the leg of the dead body which is adjacent to the ground.

It is told that Gurcharan was very much trusted by the shopkeeper, due to which he was allowed to stay inside the shop at night as a watchman. He used to sleep in the shop for years. After going home in the morning, he used to come to the shop again in the afternoon.

As soon as the incident was reported, the local police reached the spot. In this regard, Praveen Kumar Mishra, Station Officer of Patori, says that prima facie it seems to be a case of suicide, but the police is probing all the points related to the incident. He also said that the allegations leveled by the family would also be probed. Presently the dead body is being sent to Samastipur Sadar Hospital for postmortem. The situation will be clear only after the post mortem report comes whether Gurcharan has actually been murdered or he has committed suicide.
