The Ichhapore police were informed about an accidental death on Saturday afternoon. A police team reached a house in a chawl at Mora village and found the body.

Police took statements from Kaif’s roommates and informed his family members. Police sources said two of Kaif’s roommates returned to their room and found it locked from inside. After getting no response to repeated knocks, one of them, Azmatulla Khan, looked inside through a window and spotted Kaif lying on the floor. They broke open the main door and found him unconscious. Azmatulla called an ambulance. Kaif was taken to a hospital where doctors declared him dead after primary examination.

Ichhapore police inspector Shital Shah said, “On June 12,  Kaif returned home from work and was not feeling well, so he had informed his contractor that he would not be coming to work the next day.”
