Kozhikode : The investigation team looking into death of Adivasi youth Vishwanath, have identified six persons he spoke with before committing suicide. All six are being questioned. According to police, the six men are not ones who accosted Vishwananth, rather, they had called to find out what happened.
SP K. Surdarshan said the six persons were bystanders for patients at the hospital where a gang accosted Vishwanath. Meanwhile, the police recovered shirt Vishwanath wore on the day. They found it lying in the field where Vishwanath was found hanging.
The Special Investigation reached Wayanad to record statements of the deceased youth’s mother and sister. Since Vishwanath was found shirtless, relatives raised suspicion that he was hanged after being killed elsewhere. The family recently retracted from having a re-postmortem on Vishwanath.
