"Although the body did not bore any injury marks, the exact cause of the death is yet to be ascertained which would be clear only after a postmortem. His friends have told us that the deceased consumed liquor at the party. We are probing whether drugs were also served or not as a drug overdose could be a reason for the death, the official added.
DCP (South District) Prem Nath said that Shuni's death was mysterious and the real cause behind the death would be known only after the autopsy.
The case is being investigated from all possible angles and appropriate action would be initiated if turns out to be a case of homicide, he said.
