On Tuesday, the family members of J Muthukrishnan, who was found hanging on Monday from the ceiling fan in his friend's room, suspected foul play and demanded a probe.


The parents of the 27-year old Dalit research scholar had refused to give consent for the procedure on Tuesday and sought the presence of a "neutral" forensic expert.


Muthukrishnan, also known as Krish Rajini, had gone to his friend's house in Munirka Vihar to have food, where he locked himself inside a room afterward on the pretext of sleeping and allegedly committed suicide.


 


Rajini hailed from Periyeri village in Salem district of Tamil Nadu and had come to Delhi in October last year.
