FSL report awaited in defence official’s death case


Three days since the mysterious deaths of Defence Ministry official Kumar Yashkar Sinha and his wife Archana Sharma, the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) is expected to handover its crucial report to Delhi Police on Monday.

The FSL report is expected to throw new light on the mysterious death of the 42-year-old Deputy Director at the Ministry's Directorate General of Medical Services and his 34-year-old wife, who was a trained classical dancer.

The two were found dead in their official flat in Hudco Place in Defence Colony on Friday.

Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police PS Kushwah told reporters that they were "waiting for the FSL report on the evidence collected from the spot" where the bodies were found.

According to Pushkar Sinha, brother of slain defence ministry official, Yashkar went to meet him in Lucknow last week and discussed the enormous work pressure on him.

He even met his sister a day before his death.

On Saturday, Delhi Police found a hand-written note wrapped in a 'green envelope' in Sinha’s home during investigation in which he had mentioned the names of two Army officers who were allegedly 'behind the work pressure'.

According to the sources, the two suspected officials of Defence Ministry can be summoned for questioning.

So far, the relatives of Yashkar have maintained that the couple was happily married and they enjoyed healthy relationship. So, marital discord cannot be ruled out.

The relatives of the deceased couple alleged that there could be a conspiracy behind the deaths.

Delhi Police on Sunday questioned an official of ADG rank in defence ministry to get more details on the content of the 'note' that is very crucial to crack the case of mysterious deaths.

The initial reports suggested that Yashkar first strangulated his wife and then immolated himself. But, the recently found note indicates something fishy in the case.

The couple was married for seven years and had no children.

The incident was reported to police by neighbours when they saw smoke coming out from the couple’s flat.
