Kolkata: The preliminary post-mortem report of the body of Samantak Das, the Pro Vice Chancellor of Kolkata's prestigious Jadavpur University, has suggested that the case of death is anti-mortem in nature and hence, it was a case of suicide.

However, the investigation officials of the Kolkata Police have decided to continue its probe to find out the circumstances under which this popular teacher of Jadavpur University chose to take such a drastic step.

They are questioning Das's relatives, friends and his colleagues and students in the varsity as well as thoroughly examining the mobile phone and the laptop of the deceased teacher to get some clues in this connection.

 


The body of Das was found hanging from his residence at Regent Park in south Kolkata on Wednesday afternoon. His body was recovered hanging from the ceiling fan of his residence and a medium of hanging was a karate belt. No suicide note was recovered from near his body.
