He returned home late and went to his room while his wife, who is pregnant, was sleeping with her mother-in-law. Prima facie it seems to be a case of suicide.

After postmortem, the body was handed over to the family members.”

Shocked to know about Namanveer’s death. He was a talented shooter and I accompanied the Indian Universities team to the World University Games in Poland in 2016, where he won a bronze medal for the team. He was a passionate shooter and always showed his passion for the sport. It is unfortunate to hear about his death.”
