Key Questions Answered

According to CO Sandeep Kumar, the postmortem report indicates that Deepak Lodhi, also known as Rasik Dulari, died from excessive blood loss following a fall from the fourth floor of Guru Kripa Kunj Ashram in Vrindavan. Police are also investigating severe injuries found on his body.

During a search of Deepak Lodhi's room at the ashram, police and forensic teams recovered an electronic tile-cutting grinder with blood traces. Investigators suspect this machine may have been used to inflict a severe injury to his private parts before his fatal fall.

Police obtained CCTV footage showing pedestrians walking along the road outside the ashram just before Deepak Lodhi suddenly falls from the fourth floor of the building. Authorities are using this footage alongside postmortem findings to establish the exact sequence of events.
