Kolkata: Air Force official found dead at Fort William
According to reports, the blooded body of IAF official S.V.R. Moorthy, who hailed from Hyderabad, was seen lying at Fort William officers' mess area in the early morning.
The officer was rushed to SSKM hospital where he was declared brought dead.
Besides the IAF, Kolkata Police's homicide department have registered a case of unnatural death at Maidan Police Station and begun probe into the matter.
"After proper investigation, we can confirm the exact reason behind the death. We have also asked the IAF authority to provide us CCTV footage of the area," a senior official of Kolkata Police told IBNS.
After preliminary investigation, police are suspecting that the officer might have fallen accidentally from his flat's balcony, on second floor of the apartment, or he committed suicide by jumping from his flat, a police source said.
