No Visible Injuries; Cause of Death Still Unknown
“There were no external injuries, and it doesn’t seem like a clear case of murder or suicide at this point,” . Police suspect the man may have entered the lake either to swim or for some unknown reason, possibly by jumping over a nearby wall. The exact circumstances remain unclear, pending further investigation.
Lack of CCTV Coverage Hampers Investigation
Officials also stated that the lake spans approximately 6 to 8 acres and has no CCTV surveillance, making it difficult to trace how or when the man entered the premises. Police have reached out to nearby stations to cross-check missing person reports, but no matches have been found so far.
Post-Mortem at Osmania Hospital; Awaiting Identification
The body has been shifted to Osmania General Hospital for a detailed post-mortem examination, which authorities hope will provide more clarity on the cause of death. If no one claims the body within three days, the police will proceed with standard legal procedures.
A case has been registered, and further investigation is underway to determine the identity of the deceased and the reason for his death.
