'Forcibly undressed Siddharth, but...': Retired SP George Joseph shares possible conclusions on Siddharth's death

The below mentioned are the possible conclusions shared by the eminent criminal expert Rt SP George Joseph after studying in detail, the photo of Siddharth's dead body, who was found dead in Pookode University in Wayanad.

1. It can be understood that the toes are touching the ground. It is nearly impossible for someone to hang himself at such a low height.

2. Siddharth was unconscious. In such a state even a planned murder by hanging can look like a fine case of suicide.

3. Death occurs when the entire body weight falls on the neck. It takes only seconds to leave one dead.

4. The police could have easily investigated the case if not for the suspicious hurry shown by hostel authorities to unhook the noose and take the student to the hospital, albeit knowing the death.

5. The cloth tied around the neck should be examined. The window was placed at a decent height which is difficult for Siddharth to hang into. It should be checked whether he used any stool or other chair from class. If not, then we can’t just rule out the possibility of someone lassoing his neck and hanging him from above.

6. All the accused have confessed to forcibly undressing Siddharth and making him wear only his inners. In any normal case, someone who is suddenly freed from bondage would hurry to cloth himself. However, Siddharth was found hanging wearing just his innerwear.
