A youth died under mysterious circumstances here on Wednesday. He has been identified as Ramesh (24), a BJP worker and a resident of Kadirenahalli. He is said to be a relative of BJP leader Park Suri.
Banashankari police have registered a case of unnatural death. Ramesh was declared brought dead at DG Hospital at Padmanabhanagar in the evening. Sources said he had strangulation marks on his neck. The post-mortem is expected to be conducted at KIMS on Thursday.
Sources said Ramesh was driving a car that hit a four-wheeler in which former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda was travelling right in front of his Padmanabhanagar house in the morning.
Sources said Ramesh committed suicide, while some said he was murdered.
Investigations are on. Meanwhile, BJP workers are expected to stage a protest on Thursday.
