Daljit, a resident of Punjab, was found dead and his family says the death resulted from drug use. Police, however, have classified the case as murder and have taken custody of his body.

Daljit’s father remains missing, and authorities have not released any further details about the investigation or the circumstances surrounding the body’s seizure.

The contrasting accounts—family attributing the death to drugs and police describing it as murder—underscore the limited information currently available as the probe continues.
