"They took him to a medical facility in Gariahat that refused to admit him. Then they took to another one in the EM Bypass where Mondal died last night," he said.
Ronit's friends have lodged an FIR with the Ballygunge Police Station against unknown persons and police started a murder case.
"Investigation will start after we get the post mortem report which will play a crucial role in this case," the IPS officer said.
