Gorakhpur : The body of a timber trader, Manoj Vishwakarma (55), was found lying in a pool of blood inside his house in Ismailpur under Kotwali police station limits on Wednesday morning. Neighbours alerted police around 11 am after noticing blood near the main door of his two-storey house.
Police have not confirmed these allegations. She also claimed that a property dispute involving Manoj’s wife could have been a factor.
Meanwhile, Manoj’s mother, Savitri Devi , alleged his elder daughter Anshika, who had arrived at the house two days earlier with two boys, might have been involved in his death.
Because of frequent domestic disputes, manoj’s brother Anil said Manoj’s wife, Sunita, had been living at her parental home in Ranchi with their children for around six months. He entered the house using a ladder placed outside and found Manoj lying dead near the entrance. He added that Manoj consumed excessive alcohol.
Anil said he reached the house after receiving information on Wednesday and found blood coming from the gate.
A forensic team inspected the scene and investigation suggested that in an intoxicated state, Manoj died after falling down the stairs, sustaining a fatal injury as his head hit an iron gate.
