Earlier, a CFSL team had visited the hotel room where Sharma’s body was found. As per initial investigations, foul play was ruled out in Sharma’s death but Delhi Police was “minutely” studying the circumstantial evidence and awaiting the final post-mortem report. “Although we are yet to come across any clue that point towards any foul play or unnatural death, we will conclude only when we get all the lab reports,” a senior police officer said. Talking to reporters in New Delhi, Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi said prima facie he was satisfied with the progress of investigation. “Will wait for viscera report,” he said. Police had on Monday said that upon inspecting the body, it was found that stool and urine had passed, indicating some sort of choking. However, whether that was internal or external would be clear only in the autopsy report. PTI
