Police lodged an FIR under Section 302 (murder) of Indian Penal Code after Rohit’s autopsy report revealed that the cause of his death was “unnatural”.

Police had initially initiated inquest proceedings under Section 174 of CrPC. A panel of three doctors at AIIMS conducted the post-mortem.

Shekhar, who fought and won a long-drawn paternity suit against his father, was brought dead at Max hospital in Saket on Tuesday.
