High drama was witnessed at the Yashwantrao Chavan Memorial Hospital yesterday after relatives of history-sheeter Suleman Ismail Shaikh (23), a resident of Gurudevnagar in Akurdi, refused to claim his body. Suleman’s body was found near Devadikar chawl last morning. His brother Qasim had lodged a case of kidnapping at the Nigdi police station on Tuesday night. Suleman was involved in two attempt-to-murder cases and was released on bail last month. 

Suleman was allegedly abducted by a group of five men — Bobby Yadav, Vicky Wagh, Sunny Sarpatta, Jigesh Sawant and Gaurav Sathe — on Tuesday night and stabbed to death with sharp weapons over past enmity. All the five are history-sheeters and were released on bail two months ago.
