"We are investigating the death from all angles to determine its cause. Although no complaint has been given by the family members who are in deep shock, we are covering all possibilities," said the officer.
The body of Raj Kumar was sent for post mortem examination and further investigation is on, he added.
When contacted, the hospital authorities did not comment on the issue.
