A 24-year-old software engineer was found dead under mysterious circumstances in his rented house at BTM 1st stage in Madiwala on Thursday.
The deceased, Shantanu Singh, hailed from Darjeeling in Bengal. He was employed in an IT firm in the city for the last four years. According to the police, the incident came to light around 9 p.m. when his friend Apratim Medhi, a co-tenant, returned from work and found him hanging from the ceiling. But his hands had been bound with a rope, said the police.
Apratim told the police that the room was locked from inside. He had opened the door with his spare key.
Shantanu’s father, Kanwar R. Kumar Singh, 55, a teacher, has filed a complaint alleging that his son has been murdered. The police are waiting for the post mortem report.
