Satish Kaushik death: Businessman Vikas Malu's wife fails to show up at the police station for questioning, to get fresh notice

Businessman Vikas Malu's second wife, who was called to the police station for questioning on March 13, failed to show up. She was supposed to be questioned in connection with the death of veteran actor and filmmaker Satish Kaushik.

A Police informant informed a news agency that a fresh notice will be issued. According to the police, she was called for questioning at 11 am on Monday but did not show up.

So far, the statements of about 25 to 30 guests and the staff present at Malu's farmhouse on the night Kaushik died, have been recorded and nothing suspicious has come to light so far. "The postmortem report said he (Kaushik) died after suffering a cardiac arrest. We are also awaiting the FSL (Forensic Science Laboratory) and other reports which would shed further light on the matter. The relatives of the deceased (Satish Kaushik) have not raised suspicions of any foul play," an officer said.

He added that the blood and some other samples have been sent for tests at the forensic laboratory in Rohini, Delhi. FSL officials said the samples have been received and reports will be out soon. An FSL official said, "The blood test would determine if there was any intoxicant in his blood, while the stomach test would also be done to check for the presence of any substance. The reports will be handed over to the Delhi Police soon."

Earlier, talking to ANI, Malu's wife said, "I have got a complaint registered in connection with Satish Ji's death. He had come to my husband's farmhouse for a party, where his health deteriorated. Some objectionable medicines have also been found from the farmhouse."

She alleged that Satish Kaushik and Vikas Malu had business links and there was a monetary dispute between the two.
