On February 15, his son told him on the phone that his roommates were quarreling with him over the distribution of expenses, the complainant father told the police.
During this, on February 19, the police informed him that the body of his son was found in a deserted place.

He thought that Pranav was sleeping under the influence of alcohol. After this, he broke the lock and looked inside and found his body.
“The accused had not taken the ID of the deceased Pranav Kumar, due to which he was afraid that the police would question him. Due to this, he, along with the three accused, put Pranav’s body in his car and threw it in a deserted place to destroy evidence,” said Sandeep Kumar, Gurugram police spokesperson.
