The Mohali boy, who police claim was the last to meet Tanishq Bhasin the night before he was found dead, joined the investigations after two days of his disappearance.

However, his questioning has not been of much help in solving the mystery surrounding 19-year-old Tanishq’s death on Thursday, police said. The police are not revealing the identity of the Mohali boy on the pretext that he is not being treated as a suspect. However, they are convinced that he knows more.

An official who questioned the Mohali boy said he has confessed that he was with Tanishq on Wednesday evening for two hours, between 7.30pm to 9.30 pm, in Sector 70, Mohali. However, he did not reveal anything beyond this, saying that Tanishq left without saying anything.

The boy’s version reportedly did not convince the cops who asked him why he disappeared for two days if he had nothing to hide. Police had summoned him for questioning on Friday after they found that the two friends had the same mobile phone tower location in Mohali, hours before Tanishq’s death. Thereafter, his mobile phone was switched off.

A resident of Sector 4, Panchkula, Tanishq was a second-year commerce student at SD College, Sector 32. On Thursday, his body with a gunshot wound on the head was found in his car on Morni road. A revolver was also found lying on his lap.
