Lucknow: An autopsy has failed to identify the cause of death of MP Governor Ram Naresh Yadav’s son Shailesh, an accused in the the multi-crore Vyapam scam in MP, according to UP police, even as his family today said they do not suspect any foul play.
Police said viscera samples have been preserved.
“The postmortem report says that cause of death could not be ascertained. Viscera and heart of Shailesh have been preserved,” Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Yashasvi Yadav said.
Police had on Wednesday said that prima facie the death appeared to be due to brain haemorrhage or heart attack.
The SSP on Thursday maintained that the death appeared to be “natural”.
The postmortem of Shailesh was conducted yesterday and its findings came last night.
Shailesh Yadav, (50) was found dead under mysterious circumstances in his room at the official residence of his father, a former Uttar Pradesh Chief, at 1 Mall Avenue here yesterday morning.
A section of media and some Congress leaders have raised suspicion over the death.
But Shailesh’s elder brother Kamlesh Yadav, who is an Uttar Pradesh Congress member, told reporters, “It is a natural death. The matter will be clear when the final report comes. We don’t suspect any foul play.” Governor Ram Naresh Yadav, who is ailing, was being taken in an air ambulance from Bhopal to Lucknow to attend the last rites of his son. .PTI
