He speaks to the news agency yearsThe neighbor said he was unaware of the name of the accused until the alleged murder came to light. He was quoted as saying: He kept it to himself and did not mix with others. I didn’t even know his name for the past three years. An unpleasant smell – like dead rats – began to emanate from Monday morning or Tuesday evening. We didn’t imagine its source to be so flat, we’ve only seen things like that on TV…”
Sharing details of how he felt something fishy, his neighbor said he noticed an unpleasant odor on Monday and it worsened on Wednesday afternoon. I knocked on his door, but no one answered. I sensed someone was in the apartment but not answering. When I knocked on the door for the second time, I could smell the room freshener. At that time, I felt that something was wrong. I waited for 5-10 minutes but I answered. Then I went down. After 10-15 minutes, (Manoj Sahani) came and I asked him to check his apartment to find out the cause of the bad smell. He insisted he would go out to do some urgent work and would check back. I immediately reported this to our building secretary. His (Manoj Sehani) eyes were red and frightened. And the smell of his body was the same (the stench).”
