As per preliminary reports, Tiwari had recently divorced his wife.
Tiwari’s cousin Rahul Pandey told a news agency that problems with his wife had begun right after their marriage.
“We do not have suspicions on anybody right now. The rest will be known when other family members also come,” he said.
Civil Hospital’s medical superintendent Ashutosh Kumar Dubey said it would be too early to reach any conclusion.
“There was an injury mark on his chin. The body has been sent for post-mortem. Only after the reports are out, something can be said,” he said.
