A distant relative of a slain IRS officer allegedly committed suicide today by jumping before a moving train near here, a day after he was questioned in connection with the murder, police said.
Kamal Meena was questioned last evening in connection with the killing of Sriram Meena, Deputy Director at Directorate of Central Excise Intelligence, who was found murdered in his house in Jagannathpuri locality in Sanganer on June 10, DCP East Shewta Dhankar said.
Kamal resided in a rented accommodation near the slain IRS officer's house in Jagannathpuri locality, according to Additional Police Commissioner Girraj Meena.
"Sometimes he also used to stay with Sriram in his home," the ACP said, adding it was not clear whether they had any dispute.
"Kamal was interrogated just because he was close to the officer," he said.
