Mystery continues to surrounds death of Anaesthesiologist Dr Dinesh Sethia on Wednesday even as the preliminary post mortem conducted on his body reportedly found traces of ‘poisoning’.
It may be recalled that Dr Sethia was found unconscious in his car on Tuesday morning in the parking lot of Royal Homes Housing Complex at Shankar Nagar by his wife when she came down from the flat to check out why he was not responding to the repeated calls made by her on his mobile phone during the noon hours.
Dr Sethia has a clinic in Fafadih Chowk and he had left his flat in the morning and did not respond to calls made by his wife as he returns home for lunch during the noon hours.
After getting anxious when no calls were responded by the doctor, his wife decided to check in the parking lot of the building where Dr Sethia was found in an unconscious state with a needle used to administer the drip to patients stuck in his hand.
Dr Sethia was immediately rushed to a hospital where he was declared brought dead.
According to Police Station In-charge T R Kawar, the post mortem report is still awaited.
Dr Sethia’s family is in a state of shock and could not explain what might have happened, police sources said. The civil lines police had done a preliminary questioning of his family members as a procedure.
The call record of Dr Sethia’s mobile phone is bring gathered for further investigation, they added.
