An official said that they received information from Paschim Vihar Shamshan Ghat from cremation ground incharge Sanjeev Chauhan that one Rinku Yadav had come to cremate his father Satish Yadav.

During the cremation, a sharp cut mark on the neck and forearm was noticed by someone, who alerted the priest, said police.
