Former UP Minister Dies in Suspicious Fall
A former minister from Uttar Pradesh named Nanak Ram Bhurji died after falling from a high floor in a building for legislators.
His family thinks something bad might have happened because his body didn't have the usual injuries from such a fall.
The police and hospital say there are some injuries and they will do a special check to find out what really happened.
No one knows why he was in the building since he didn't have a room there.
The police think he might have been feeling very sad for a long time, but his family doesn't agree and wants a thorough investigation.
Former UP minister Nanak Ram Bhurji died after allegedly falling from the seventh floor of the Darulshafa new MLA Residence complex in Lucknow.
His family suspects foul play due to lack of visible injury marks consistent with a fall from that height.
Police and hospital report external injury marks and plan a postmortem to determine the exact cause of death.
Bhurji was not allotted any room in the building, raising questions about his presence there.
The incident occurred around 2:35 PM, and Bhurji was declared dead upon arrival at Civil Hospital.
