Police have registered a murder case against an unidentified person following the death of 53-year-old Sushant Palyekar, whose body was discovered at Marna.
The case was filed after the autopsy report confirmed that the cause of death was suffocation, ruling out the possibility of a natural or accidental death.
Palyekar was found dead in the Marna area of Siolim, prompting an initial investigation. With the post-mortem findings indicating foul play, police have now initiated a full-fledged probe into the matter.
Authorities said efforts are underway to identify and trace the culprit. Further investigation is in progress.
