"We have questioned some people and came to know that he was upset for some reasons," saiddeputy SP, S Chinappa.

The Nigerian Embassy and the deceased's family have been informed about the incident. It is hoped that Nigerian authorities inIndia will do some investigation into the alleged suicide, and hopefully corroborate the suicide story, if indeed it was a suicide.
