The postmortem report of Rohit Shekhar, son of late Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand Chief Minister ND Tiwar, has revealed that he had died an ‘unnatural death’.
It is suspected that the 40-year-old was smothered to death with a pillow.
While police registered a murder case under Section 302 of the IPC against unknown people, it was later transferred to the Crime Branch on Friday.
Rohit’s family members, his wife and elder brother were inside the house, are the prime suspects. His mother was at the hospital.
Rohit had fought a long court battle with his late father to prove that he was his biological son and eventually won it.
