Police had contacted the ministry of foreign affairs and the foreigners regional registration office (FRRO). On the basis of details furnished by cops, the ministry and FRRO traced Sivarajah’s family.
Senior inspector Shubhangi Wankhede of Mankapur police station said Sivarajah’s son would be reaching the city by Sunday or Monday as he did not receive visa on time. “The body has been kept at the mortuary of Mayo hospital. The postmortem would be done in presence of his son,” said Wankhede adding that accidental death was registered at Mankapur police station.
