Nehru Nagar police, probing the alleged suicide of Pancharam Rithadia, have identified a politician who tried to keep the issue burning by telling his family to not claim his body. In addition, a spotless suicide note found with Pancharam, whose clothes were completely stained with blood, has prompted the cops to get the five-page note examined.

Pancharam allegedly committed suicide on October 13 over police inaction regarding his 17-year-old daughter's kidnapping. She was kidnapped from near her residence in Nehru Nagar. Cops have stitched the sequence of events of the day Pancharam committed suicide. "After spending the whole day home, he left in the evening saying he needed to get a phone recharge. At 8:30pm, his son Sunil called him asking about his whereabouts. An inebriated Pancharam said he's nearby," the officer said.
