In a disturbing case from Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh, a man’s death initially believed to be due to a heart attack has turned out to be a murder.
Deepak Kumar, a 29-year-old railway technician, died during a religious ceremony at his home in Najibabad on April 4. His wife, Shivani, claimed he had suffered a heart attack. However, Deepak’s family, suspicious due to his status as a government employee, insisted on a post-mortem before performing the last rites.
