BSP Rajya Sabha MP Narendra Kashyap's daughter-in-law was found dead here on Wednesday with a gunshot injury on her head, police said.
Himani Kashyap, 29, was found dead in a bathroom of their Sanjay Nagar residence at 10.30 a.m.
Police said Himani Kashyap married Narendra Kashyap's elder son Sagar about two years ago. Daughter of former Uttar Pradesh minister Hira Lal Kashyap, she had a year-old son.
A licensed pistol in her husband's name was found lying near her body.
After hearing a gunshot, the family members rushed her to a hospital where doctors declared her dead.
"The family did not inform the police about the incident. The police came to know about it from the hospital memo," Superintendent of Police Salman Taj Patil.
"Since the case is under investigation, it cannot be said whether it was a suicide or murder," he said. "The body has been taken for autopsy."
