On Momday morning, when they resumed and started to look around, Jawed's 19-year-old brother Junaid found people and a few policemen had gathered near the Samaypur Badli Metro Station. The body was found 1 kilometre away from the house of the deceased.
The 19-year-old saw the headless body of his brother. Since the head was missing, the teen identified his elder brother by his clothes and his chappals.
The senior police officer said that two-years-ago, some people were asking Jawed's father to take back the case in which the elderly man was a prime eyewitness.
