56-year-old E P Ganesan, a government school laboratory assistant, was found dead at his residence in October, with the family reporting a fatal snake bite.
A father believed to have died of a snakebite in the village of Podaturpet was killed in an elaborate plot orchestrated by his two sons, say police.
On Oct 22, E P Ganesan, 56, a lab assistant at a govt girls’ higher secondary school in Podaturpet, was found dead at his house.
Based on a complaint lodged by his son Mohanraj, 26, the Podaturpet police registered a case of unnatural death, initially viewing the death as an accidental snake bite.
However, a sinister plot began to unravel after an insurance company flagged serious doubts over the claims submitted by the family, citing suspicious conduct by the sons of the deceased.
