CBI Court Accepts Closure Report in 2023 Gurugram Realtor Death CasePreviousNext

A special CBI court in Panchkula accepted the closure report in the 2023 death case of Gurugram property dealer Anil Kumar, dismissing his wife Sonia's petition seeking prosecution of suspects for murder or abetment of suicide. Anil was found dead with a gunshot wound in January 2023. The CBI, which took over the case in March 2024, concluded the death was self-inflicted based on forensic and ballistic evidence. The complainant challenged the investigation citing delayed FIR, conflicting forensic reports, and alleged lapses in suspect inquiries.
