Mumbai: A 45-year-old scientist from the Atom Bhabha Research Center (Barc) in Mankhurd was found depending on the Helium factory inside Barc on September 10.
Champalal Prajapat is a native of Sujangsarh in Rajasthan and is a superconductor expert.
His close friends suspected the game was rotten but the police put it aside.
Trombay police registered an unintentional report.
A close friend of Prajapat said Ganesh Chaturthi was a holiday, but he was called to work because he was the secretary of the upcoming symposium involving his technical physics division.
At 5.08 the night he called his wife and said he would return at 5:30.
He didn’t return, so a friend was asked to look for it.
At 7pm he was found in helium plant decoration.
His body is blue.
There were no suicide records found after the incident and hanging also “not right”, added the friend.
Senior Inspector Siddheshwar Gove said, “Post-Mortem’s report showed that he died by hanging.
We recorded his wife’s statement and witnesses, and found that he was depressed.
We have learned that he is under pressure and undergoing treatment at the Barc Hospital itself, “Gove said.
In January, scientist Anuj Tripathi (37), working in the Bio-Chem Barc department, died of suicide after sleeping with his wife.
