As wife and friends of the deceased are engaged in mudslinging, the cloak of mystery is yet to be lifted from the death of the social worker, who was receiving threats from criminals as he launched an anti-liquor agitation.After the notice of the NHRC, the Director-General of Police chose to hand over the matter to the CB-CID for investigation. While investigating the case, the CB-CID has seized the CCTV footage of the railway station where Aditya died. The post-mortem report, his handwriting, diary have also been seized and are under the scrutiny of the crime branch.The circumstantial evidence shrouds mystery over the death of the social activist.
