Belagavi Police investigate suspicious death of businessman, Body exhumed for autopsy
Belagavi: The Belagavi city police have launched an investigation into the death of businessman Santosh Padmannavar, whose body was exhumed for an autopsy following concerns raised by his daughter regarding the circumstances of his demise.
Santosh Padmannavar, 47, passed away on October 9. His daughter, Sanjana Padmannavar, 18, who was studying in Bengaluru, returned home for the cremation, which was conducted according to Lingayat traditions. Initially, Sanjana was informed that her father's death was due to a cardiac arrest and that his eyes were donated as per his wishes. However, she found it difficult to believe that her otherwise healthy father could have died from a heart attack.
Sanjana's suspicions intensified when she discovered that footage from multiple CCTV cameras at their home had been deleted. Concerned about her mother Uma’s potential involvement, she, with the support of relatives, filed a complaint with the police.
In response to the complaint, police exhumed Santosh’s body for an autopsy. Preliminary investigations indicated potential foul play, as CCTV footage obtained from neighbors revealed two individuals entering the family home around the time of the death.
Belagavi Police Commissioner Ida Martin Marbaniang stated, “We are currently questioning four individuals, including the victim's mother Uma and two maids. We expect to gain more clarity once the autopsy report is received.
