It was not suicide, but a slow murder, claims the family of Mohan Delkar who was found dead in a hotel room in south Mumbai on Monday. In a long suicide note, the Independent MP from Dadra and Nagar Haveli alleged being harassed by local bureaucrats. Speaking to mid-day on Wednesday, his son Abhinav Delkar said Mohan had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Union home minister about the harassment, and even brought it up in Parliament last year, but no one heard him.
