A 30-year-old man, Santosh Kumar Sharma, was discovered dead in a hotel room near Bairiya Bus Stand in Patna. Sharma, a resident of Shakurabad in Jehanabad, was found under mysterious circumstances, sparking concern and speculation in the area.
Preliminary investigations suggest that Sharma frequented the hotel and often checked in with different female companions. On this particular occasion, he was accompanied by a woman believed to be from Kolkata. The woman informed the police that everything seemed normal until late at night.
However, in the early morning hours, Sharma’s condition deteriorated rapidly, leading to him losing consciousness. Despite efforts to revive him, he could not be saved. The woman alerted the hotel staff around 4:00 a.m., who then contacted the authorities.
Upon the police’s arrival, a thorough search of the room was conducted, revealing medicines suspected to be related to sexual enhancement. Despite no visible signs of injury or struggle on Sharma’s body, the circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear. The woman has been taken into custody for questioning, and investigators are reviewing hotel records and CCTV footage to reconstruct the events leading to Sharma’s demise.
The body has been sent for a post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death. DSP (Sadar-2) Ranjan Kumar emphasized that all possible angles, including natural causes or other factors, are being investigated. An FIR has been filed at the Ramkrishna Nagar police station, and Sharma’s family has been notified about the incident.
