GHAZIABAD: A 44-year-old Delhi-based AAP worker was allegedly charred to death inside his SUV on Loni-Bhopura road in Ghaziabad in the early hours of Friday. Ghaziabad police have registered an FIR pertaining to murder under Section 302 of IPC at Sahibabad police station.The victim has been identified as Naveen Dass , who was president of AAP’s school management committee of New Delhi district (II). An event manager by profession, Naveen lived with his mother in Delhi’s Inderpuri area. His skeletal remains have been sent for autopsy and a DNA test.His body, which had been charred beyond recognition, was found on the driver’s seat of his Brezza, with its backrest fully extended, on Loni-Bhopura road by police who rushed to the spot after being alerted by a security guard of a nearby building.But by the time cops reached the spot, the fire had been estinguished. The car was found parked along the road towards Bhopura, said police who presume the incident took place around 2.30am. Naveen’s family members told TOI he had left home in his car around noon on Thursday. “My brother had gone to the Chattarpur Enclave area to look for a house on rent. He used to work as an event manager. But he did not inform us about his visit Ghaziabad,” his brother Manoj said.“Naveen had last spoken to our sister Diksha who lives in Dilshad Garden around 8.30 pm. He did not even tell Diksha that he was planning to go to Ghaziabad. Its inexplicable as to why he had reached that road. His mobile phone has not been recovered but his last seen status on WhatsApp was 4.37 am,” Manoj added.The family has told police that Naveen did not have any enmity with anyone and that their only relative in Ghaziabad is an uncle who is a BJP worker and lives in Loni. However, his uncle has also told cops that Naveen did not visit him.But police have expressed apprehensions about Naveen’s death, given the fact that the SUV was barely two years old, the handbrake had been drawn and there was a dent on the door on the driver’s side.“The family is apprehensive about the fact that Naveen hadn’t divulged about his plan to visit Ghaziabad. They further suspect as to what he was doing on the road in Ghaziabad around 2.30 am. The address of the family was traced from the registration number of the car,” Ghaziabad SP (city) Shlok Kumar said.“A DNA test is likely to be conducted to be doubly sure that the skeletal remains indeed were that of Naveen. We are also trying to get CCTV footages from a nearby petrol pump. The mobile phone call records of Naveen are being verified,” he added.
