However, his reputation for being an upright officer who took on powerful people suspected of breaking the law, has led many to speculate that his death was not a suicide.Read: Police maintain no suicide note was found among D K Ravi's thingsOn Monday evening, Ravi’s wife Kusuma tried to reach her husband over the phone, and upon failing to do so, she called his driver who said he had taken Ravi to the flat. When she reached the house at around 6pm with her father, they found that he was hanging from the ceiling of the room.They later summoned the police, who lowered the body.
