Post mortem report confirms Om Puri did not die of natural causes

A post mortem conducted on Bollywood actor Om Puri recently concluded that he did not die of natural causes, as was previously thought.

On 6 January, actor Om Puri was reported dead and initially it was suggested that he had passed away due to a massive heart attack. However, the recently released post-mortem report indicates that the actor had a head injury which he might have suffered as a result of falling after the heart attack.

Due to these new revelations, the Oshiwara police are now probing the death as a homicide case and they are conducting investigations to uncover the real cause of Puri’s death and arrest any suspects.

Puri’s close friend and film producer, Khalid Kidwai is also being investigated by the police as he was with the actor just hours before his death. Kidwai told the police that Puri was intoxicated before his death and he wanted to meet his son Ishan on the same day that he died.

“Om Puri wanted to meet his son Ishan on Thursday evening. So we (Kidwai and Om Puri) went to Trishul building where his ex-wife Nandita lives with Ishan but were unable to meet them as both Nandita and Ishan had gone for a party. Om Puri then had an argument over the phone with Nandita and asked them to come soon as he wanted to meet his son,” said Khalid Kidwai, who had been with the actor hours before his death.

Meanwhile the police also questioned Nandita and recorded where she had been at the time of Puri’s death. All these details will help the police in solving this murder mystery.

“As Khalid Kidwai was with Om Puri since afternoon to hours before his death, we recorded his statement. We will corroborate this piece of information with Nandita’s statement. Only then can we make any conclusion,” said a police officer familiar with the case.

Om Puri was 66-years-old when he died. He made his mark in the Bollywood industry by starring in famous movies and during the course of his career, also starred in Pakistani and Hollywood movies.
