Some marks were found around his neck and it appeared that body was hanging for some time. Mr Khan said that after some time, he also visited the spot and examined the body and the spot. It appears something fishy behind the matter. If he committed suicide then there must be some tree or hook at ceiling or some rope nearby. If it has been done some where else, how body reached there.

It was also learnt that the property/ land was still undivided among brothers and few days back he had some quarrel with his cousins over land issue. The matter was however, sorted out by brothers.
The SSP said that the body was shifted to Ramgarh hospital for postmortem and later handed over to the family for last rites after completion of legal formalities. Investigation under section 174 CrPC was launched. He said the possibility of blind murder can not be ruled out but police was working on all possible theories.
