Bengaluru Businessman Found Dead in Burning Car, Suicide Suspected by Police
A 42-year-old businessman, identified as C Pradeep, was found dead inside a burning car in the isolated area of Bengaluru's Muddinpalya on Saturday evening. The authorities suspect suicide, but in this case, they are still investigating.
Police reports said that a burning car alerted the fire department to respond to the emergency call. The firefighters reached the spot and could extinguish the flames. The vehicle was filled with smoke and had arrived at its boiling point when C Pradeep, by profession, a consultant in hotels, had succumbed to suffocation caused by the fire.
The vehicle was a Skoda and the tragic accident occurred in a remote place. Investigation even pointed out suicide as the likely cause of death. According to the reports, Mr. Pradeep may have deliberately set his car on fire with himself locked inside it. However, the police have clarified that no suicide note has been found at the spot.
As part of the investigation, the officials have questioned several family and friends of C Pradeep. Although the police haven't concluded how the businessman has died, they suspect whether it happened because of personal or financial stress. The police haven't found any evidence of external foul play; the investigators try to find out everything that led to this tragic event.
C Pradeep was an unexpected death to say the least that has shocked his family and the entire local business community. Described by friends to be a hard worker who was having a particularly bad time lately, nothing major had been reported before that.
As of now, the police in Bengaluru are still conducting investigations into the matter, and details should come forth soon once forensic reports are generated. The authorities request people having information related to the case to narrate it while trying to reconstruct what happened before this tragic incident occurred.
