With dupatta and curtains, the accused strangulated Suresh. The doctors after conducting the post-mortem examination concluded it was not a 'natural death' but the patient died due to strangulation. Moreover, marks of injuries were also seen on the neck, stomach, chest and skull portions of the deceased, they said.
Based on post-mortem report, the police added stringent sections of the IPC and converted the case into murder. Earlier, Hema was not cooperating with the police when she was grilled in connection with Suresh's death. She was feigning ignorance and also refused to join the investigation on the pretext that she was unwell.
But the post-mortem report lifted the veil from the murder mystery. Besides, Suresh's son and his neighbour, who brought the deceased to the hospital also hinted to the police that Hema and Sachin were behind the killing. Hence, the post-mortem report and confession of Suresh's son and his neighbour helped the police in cracking the case. Finally, both the accused were arrested and sent to jail.
