However, following suspicion surrounding his death, the police intervened, recalling the family in Hyderabad. The body was returned to the civil hospital for a post-mortem.
Friends close to Dr Ansari have expressed their concern that his death was not accidental. The police said that the first post -mortem results suggest signs of unfair playing.
