The Kolkata Police have started an inquiry into the issue of unnatural death. They will examine the hotel’s CCTV video to determine what transpired before he was transported to the hospital. According to other stories, he collapsed in the hospital, perhaps injuring himself.

Since he was ruled brought dead, meaning that he died on the way to the hospital, an autopsy will be done with his family members’ agreement.
