Speaking to Nagpur Today, Beltarodi Police Inspector Chandrakant Yadav informed that police didn’t find any suicide note from Wankhede’s house. Though, we suspect that following the prolonged depression Wankhede must have taken this extreme step. Though we’re investigating the matter from all possible angles, he added.
