TTD Official's Death Investigated as Murder Amidst Theft Case Probe
A former TTD employee named Satish Kumar was found dead on train tracks.
His family says he was murdered because he was looking into an old case about stolen money from a temple.
They believe people involved in that case threatened him after the police started investigating again.
The police found he had bad head injuries that didn't look like he fell off a train.
Instead, it looks like he was hit by something heavy.
So, the police are now investigating his death as a murder, trying to figure out who did it and why.
They are questioning people who were on the train with him.
The death of former TTD official Y. Satish Kumar is being investigated as a murder after his family claimed he was killed.
Satish Kumar was reportedly involved in a previously compromised case of foreign currency theft from the TTD's Parakamani section.
His family alleges he received threats after the CID reopened the investigation into the theft case.
Satish Kumar's body was found on railway tracks with severe head injuries, which investigators believe indicate he was attacked.
The CID and GRP are conducting parallel investigations, examining train records and questioning witnesses to determine the cause of death.
