Police on Wednesday claimed to have in its possession a suicide note written by a young tattoo artist, whose severed body was recovered from railway tracks, even as his family continues to point fingers at his girlfriend's family for his death.
Investigators claimed BBA student Paras Bhasin's girlfriend, whom he secretly married in an Arya Samaj temple, gave a suicide note jointly written by them to police in the last week of August after her family objected to their relationship.
The body of Paras (23) was recovered from Pandav Nagar railway tracks on Saturday with police initially claiming it to be a case of suicide. Paras' family, however, alleged it to be a murder case.
The girl along with her father, whom Paras' family alleged was behind his death, was questioned on Tuesday.
The suicide note has the signatures of both Paras and the girl and police is now verifying it. "We will verify the handwriting," a senior police official said.
Sources said they checked the CCTV footage of Delhi Metro and Paras was spotted at Laxmi Nagar Metro Station in the evening.
Paras was seen boarding the Metro at Subhash Nagar metro Station at 3.14 pm on Saturday and reached Lakshmi Nagar Metro Station at 4.11 pm.
Sources said Paras was seen alone. Investigators also traced the person who made several calls to his family asking them to come to Pandav Nagar area to get the body of Paras but police said he did not appear to be involved in his death. The caller was a passer-by who found Paras' ID card lying near his body and then made a call.
Paras' mother dismissed the claim of the girl's family that her son committed suicide. "My son was in good mood. He had to meet a lawyer in the evening. He was excited about his marriage. He was mad about the girl. He could not understand anything apart from her. Why would he commit suicide?" she said.
She alleged police was not investigating the case properly. "My son is gone...I want justice," she added.
