A 20-year-old engineering student, who left his home in Lokhandwala on Sunday evening in his car, was found dead near a high-profile rooftop pub in south Mumbai in the wee hours on Monday. The Yellow Gate police registered an accidental death report (ADR) at 5:54 am on Monday and are conducting an investigation.
The deceased was identified as Hamza Gulreej Khan. The deceased's father is currently on a religious tour and not in India, said a source. The source said, "He (Hamza) left home in his car at 8 pm on Sunday and did not return. His father is currently on Hajj."

Meanwhile, a neighbour close to the deceased's family told mid-day that his body was found unattended for over an hour inside the pub. "The matter needs to be thoroughly investigated,” the neighbour said.
However, a senior police official refuted the claim and told the newspaper that Hamza's body was found outside the pub. The officials said that they had also recovered his phone and the car.
As soon as the police arrived at the scene, they sent the body to a multi-disciplinary medical hospital in Byculla and later, it was sent to Sir JJ Hospital for post-mortem.
“The actual cause of death will be ascertained after the post-mortem is conducted. We are waiting for the post-mortem report,” the officer added.
The father of the deceased is set to land in Mumbai on Tuesday.
