It is worth reckoning that late Pravish was traceless from a night concert at Knowledge Park, India Expo Centre, Greater Noida (UP). It was informed by the police on 14th that Pravish was found dead on 9th and that his body had been cremated on 11th without informing the family.
Though the friends and relatives had submitted missing complaint in the morning of 9th, there was lack of positive response to trace Pravish. Procedural loopholes were found in the manner the death body was cremated in a hurried manner. There is strong suspicion of objectives and nexus between the concerned police, hospital authorities and the criminals who had murdered Pravish.
