DK Ravi Death Mystery: Is it a Suicide or Murder?

“As there was no response from inside, the flat was opened with a duplicate key his wife had,” Reddi said. The officials and Ravi’s wife were shocked to see him hanging with a piece of cloth tied to the fan.

Ravi had returned home in the morning from office and initial probe indicated it was a case of “suicide prima facie,” M N Reddi told reporters.

“Inquest proceedings have to take place so that we can come to conclusive understanding of the case but we don’t have any doubt at this point in time in our mind that this is a case of suicide,” he said.

Reddi said no suicide note was found as of now and “prima facie, we don’t see any room for foul play.” A cloth was used to hang from a fan, Reddi added.
