A senior police officer said that a note recovered from the car cited the officer’s apprehension that he may have been infected with Covid-19.

Whether he was indeed infected or had even got himself tested remained unclear.

The police learnt of the alleged suicide from a hospital where he was brought dead.

“He drank an unknown substance that we suspect to be acid. We’ll know more after autopsy report comes,” said the officer.
