According to sources, a bottle of poison was recovered from one hand of the deceased while cut marks were found on his other hand. Moreover, earphones were also found plugged in his ears.

After an on-the-spot probe by a scientific team, DCP Anup Sahu said that it might be a case where the person was talking to someone while committing suicide. Everything will be clear after a detailed investigation, he added.

He never kept anything hidden from me and stated that he had some family problems due to his love marriage," employer of the deceased, Ratikanta said.
