A day after Dadra and Nagar Haveli MP Mohan Delkar died by suicide in a hotel, the mystery over his death seems to be deepening as the Mumbai Police deciphered and analysed the lengthy note that he left behind.

The post-mortem was conducted at the Sir JJ Hospital in Mumbai and after the completion of necessary formalities, the body was handed over to relatives on Tuesday.

The last rites would be held in Silvassa. The Mumbai Police, however, refused to comment on the investigation.

“We cannot say anything at this stage. The investigation is in progress,” Mumbai Police spokesperson, Deputy Commissioner of Police (operations) S Chaitanya said when contacted by DH.

On Monday afternoon, his body was found in a room at the Sea Green Hotel at Marine Drive in Mumbai.

The MP and his driver checked into the hotel on Sunday. After his death, several old speeches of Delkar have surfaced on social media platforms.

Taking strong note of the incident, the Maharashtra Congress on Tuesday said that it wants a probe into BJP's role concerning the ‘suicide’.

State Congress spokesperson and general secretary Sachin Sawant said: “I will soon call on home minister Anil Deshmukh with a demand to investigate the role of BJP in the death of MP Mohanbai Delkar.”
