Sources said his family members found his lifeless body hanging from the ceiling at around 4am and called up the police. A police team reached his home, located at Shikohpur village, and took the body into their custody. The police said they collected finger prints from the body and the room where he was found dead for further investigation.

No suicide note was found near his body, the police said. A case has been registered under Section 174 of CrPC. Kumar is survived by his wife, a son and a daughter.

His body was handed over to his family members after the post-mortem examination was conducted by a medical board. The post-mortem report said that he died from the choking of his windpipe. Doctors who conducted the post-mortem examination said that his windpipe choked because of the hanging.
