Mystery shrouded the death of the manager of a hotel at CT Road under the Marine police station here when his body was recovered from a room of the hotel on Saturday morning. The deceased was identified as Basant Sethy. Sources said a staff first spotted Basant’s body lying on the floor of a room in the morning and immediately raised an alarm. On receiving information, a police team reached the spot and sent the body for postmortem.
Though the reason behind the death is yet to be ascertained, it is suspected that he has been killed by some miscreants as blood was oozing out of the mouth. However, police are investigating into the incident.
“My brother (Basant) was working in the hotel for the last 15 years. “He did not receive our calls yesterday. Today morning, we were informed about recovery of his body. We d’not know of him having enmity with anyone,” said the deceased’s brother Kabuli.
