According to the report, the medico was involved in share trading and he became depressed after a sudden downfall of the stock market recently following the detection of a new strain of coronavirus.
As per a recent UNI report, the police came to know during the investigation that bypassing their parent's eyes the MBBS student invested a large amount of money in share market and now it crashed down, which put him into serious trouble. From Facebook police got to know that he was a professional Forex trader, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) marketer and he had expertise on Binary Options.
After visiting the deceased family, MLA of the area and Deputy Leader of the opposition Badal Chowdhury also claimed that the incident had happened in a mysterious circumstance and demanded a high-level investigation into the death.
The father of the deceased alleged that there were no signs of hanging as the hospital authorities were trying to establish.
"Had he hanged himself as to how could be found lying on a bed when we reached here. And, if he had hanged himself, there were no rights for anyone to bring the deceased down.
Only the police in the presence of the family have the right to recover the body. Moreover,
I was told over the phone that the medico had met with an accident but when I reached here, we heard a different story," the deceased's father told media.
