Namakkal: The CB-CID police began to probe the sudden suicidal death of the young police officer of Tiruchengode, R. Vishnupriya and the mysterious death of a Dalit youth Gokul Raj in Tiruchengode.
The Tiruchengode DSP, R.Vishnupriya, who was probing the sensitive case of the murder of the Dalit youth, was suddenly found hanging from the ceiling of her official residence last Friday.

Meanwhile, the CB-CID ADSP Stalin will lead a team, which will now probe, into the controversial death of Dalit youth Gokul Raj. As Vishnupriya was the investigating officer in the Dalit youth murder case, her suicide is being linked to the probe into the murder case.
