An elderly couple related to former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath was found dead at their residence in Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh on Friday with the police suspecting that they were murdered by some acquaintances after a house party, according to officials.
The body of Suman Nath, aged around 65, was found inside the house, while that of her husband Narendra Nath, around 70, was recovered from the basement of the building, a senior officer said.
A family member here said the deceased man was a distant cousin to Congress leader Kamal Nath. Local police officials privy to the probe also confirmed this.
The district police have launched an investigation into the death allegedly due to strangulation, while Kamal Nath met with MP CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan in Bhopal earlier on Friday.
Greater Noida Deputy Commissioner of Police Rajesh Kumar Singh said the incident took place in Alpha 2 sector and police teams and forensic experts were inspecting the site.
“Prima facie, it appears that some people had been invited over to the house for a party where they had consumed liquor. Glasses, liquor bottles, food items such as chowmein and momos and cigarette stubs have been found from the house,” Singh said.
The family members of the deceased have also raised suspicion over involvement of people who had come to the house for the party, he said.
