BJP leader, Class IX son found dead at Goa home

PANAJI: BJP Bicholim mandal general secretary Sanjay Mapshekar and his son Sanjit, a Class IX student, were found dead under suspicious circumstances in a house in Bicholim on Monday.

A few days ago, the son filed a police complaint against his father over a minor issue between them, said North Goa SP Harish Madkaikar.

Bicholim police registered a case of unnatural death and, based on the cause of death, further action will be initiated. Madkaikar said a suicide note was recovered.

The incident came to light at 6pm when Sanjay’s daughter arrived home from work. She found her father on the floor and her brother covered with a bed sheet, sleeping on the bed.
