Ahmedabad: Using adhesive instead of condom killed youth?

AHMEDABAD: Using a strong epoxy adhesive to seal his private parts to ensure protection during intercourse may have complicated a Fatehwadi youth’s health condition leading to his death, said senior police officers probing the mysterious death of 25-year-old Salman Mirza, a resident of Fatehwadi area.

“Several witnesses said that Mirza along with his former fiancée, both of whom were addicted to drugs, had gone to a hotel in Juhapura. There, they applied an epoxy adhesive on his private parts as they were not carrying any protection,” said a senior Ahmedabad city police officer.
The two had reportedly gone to the hotel with another woman in an autorickshaw on June 22. “We checked CCTV footage and found Mirza and his girlfriend entering the hotel. He was found unconscious the next day,” said the officer.
Police officers said that the duo had taken some drug following which they decided to have sex. “Since they did not have any protection, they decided to apply the adhesive on his private parts to ensure that she does not get pregnant. They were carrying the adhesive as they occasionally used it with whitener to inhale the mixture for a kick,” said the officer.
The officer said that using the adhesive worsened Mirza’s health condition and he died of complications including multiple organ failure.
