Chhindwara man, 55, found dead with injury marks; family alleges murder, police probe

Shiv Malvi, 55, son of Sundar Malvi, died in suspicious circumstances in Chhindwara. The case is now under police investigation, and how he died has not yet been established.

His family members took Shiv Malvi to a hospital on Tuesday, where doctors examined him and declared him dead. When his body was looked at after he was declared dead, injury marks were found on it. The marks deepened suspicion over the death.

The family has expressed fear that he was murdered and has also made allegations in this regard. Following their allegations, Kotwali police took the matter seriously and began an investigation. Murder has not been confirmed for now. It is also unclear in what circumstances Shiv Malvi died and how the injury marks came to be on his body.

Kotwali Town Inspector Ashish said that prima facie the case appears suspicious. He said it would be premature to say anything definitive at this stage. Police are investigating from all angles.

According to the Town Inspector, the actual cause of death will be known only after the post-mortem report arrives. Further action will be taken on the basis of the facts that emerge from the report and the investigation.
