Watchmen sleeping on duty is a common sight. Now a sleep-deprived watchman is at the centre of attention in the mysterious death of 23-year-old model Bidushi Dash Barde.

Police found that the security guard, who works in Manish Garden building where Barde was living, had a day and night shift job. The guard Dharam Pal, in his statement to crime branch officers, said that he used to work at Manish Garden building at Four Bungalows in Andheri (W) during the day and he had a night shift at another place as well.

“If security guards work both shifts, then it is very obvious that they will fall asleep on duty. Dharam Pal earlier  said that only a doctor used to visit Barde’s place, but we have found out that a model coordinator also used to visit her,” said an officer, requesting anonymity.

“This is a clear lapse on his part. The security company should not allow or ask guards to do day and night shifts continuously. It risks the security of people living in the society,” added the officer.

The supervisor of the security company, Vishal Omprakash Singh, said, “If a watchman is on leave, then we have no option other than to ask another guard to work both shifts. This rarely happens, though.”

The crime branch officer who is conducting a parallel investigation in the case said that they will question the supervisor and the owner of the security company.

Barde was found dead in her flat on the ground floor on October 22 by her husband Kedar when he returned home from work at 9pm.

The DN Nagar police had initially registered a case of accidental death, but later lodged a murder case against an unidentified person.

Since the police have not found any evidence, they now suspect that Barde died after falling on a glass cabinet at her house.
