The police officials checked the room where they were staying and also inquired with the landlord.

At one time, he was hit by an empty bottle, when asked for water. Suddenly around 4.30 pm, he started vomiting and fell unconscious. some policeman put him in an auto and took him to MGM Hospital in town where the doctors declared him brought dead," he explained.
