A Delhi resident was discovered dead shortly before his scheduled divorce hearing, prompting his relatives to allege criminal involvement.
A man from Delhi was found dead a few days before he was due to appear in court for a divorce hearing, according to reports cited by the Deccan Herald. His family has publicly alleged that the death was not accidental and is demanding a thorough investigation into possible foul play.
Police have opened a case and are collecting forensic evidence from the scene, but officials have not released details about the cause of death or any suspects. The deceased had been scheduled to attend the hearing later in the week, a fact that his relatives say underscores the timing of the incident.
Investigators are also verifying the man's personal and legal background, including any threats or disputes that may be linked to the pending divorce. The family has urged authorities to treat the matter as a criminal case rather than a natural demise.
No arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing as the court prepares to proceed with the divorce proceedings pending the outcome of the police probe.
