Lucknow, Oct. 24 -- A 23-year-old man, Suraj Rajput Lodhi, was found dead in a pond near his home in Ghasiyari Mohalla on Thursday morning, raising suspicions of foul play, according to his family. The body showed deep facial bruises, blood from the mouth, and a broken finger, confirmed SHO Bijnor Shiv Shankar Mahadevan. Suraj had left his house around 7:30 pm on Tuesday and did not return. His elder brother, Neeraj, discovered the body floating in the pond around 7:30 am on Thursday, approximately 500 metres from their residence. While the family suspects murder due to the visible injuries, police have denied the allegations. Authorities took the body into custody and sent it for post-mortem examination. SHO Mahadevan said preliminary investigations suggest Suraj was an alcoholic and may have accidentally fallen into the pond. The exact cause of death will be confirmed after the post-mortem examination, and no FIR has been filed yet....
