Police in Indore are scrutinising the digital data from two seized phones of builder Banti Nagar to determine the cause of his suicide, while also questioning his business partners.
Builder Banti Nagar was found dead in Indore in what authorities suspect to be a suicide. The case has drawn attention due to alleged financial and partnership pressures surrounding his construction ventures. Police have taken over the investigation, treating it as a criminal inquiry.
The enforcement team has confiscated two of Nagar’s mobile phones and is now extracting call logs, messages, and location data to piece together a timeline of events leading up to his death. Digital forensic experts are tasked with identifying any signs of coercion or threats.
Investigators are focusing on three possible motives: alleged blackmail, disputes with business partners, and mounting economic strain. Each angle is being examined through the electronic evidence and testimonies from associates.
Today, officers will interview several of Nagar’s partners and close contacts to corroborate findings from the phone analysis. The police have said that the interrogation will help confirm whether external pressures contributed to the tragic outcome.
