There was handkerchief stuffed in his mouth, no one will believe that it was suicide, no further decision will be taken till a satisfactory answer is received from the authorities, action must be taken against those who are guilty, who takes so many handkerchiefs from the house. If the inquiry is not completed then how can one say it was suicide.

Hiren's family expressed doubts about his death. The Maharashtra government on Friday handed over the investigation of bomb scare outside Mukesh Ambani’s residence Antilia last week to the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS).
