Officer-in-charge, Parsudih thana, Shankar Thakur said this seemed to be a case of murder.
“We are investigating and it seems to be a case of murder. Though we could not find any mark of injury on the deceased’s body, but as it was found in the water of nullah, we suspect that some assailants might have dumped the body there having strangulated him somewhere else,” Thakur said.
