Police are investigating the mysterious deaths of IRS officer Maneesh Vijay, his mother Shakuntala Agarwal, and his sister Shalini Vijay. Preliminary reports suggest possible suicides, but the mother's death's cause is pending autopsy results. Maneesh's diary entry suggests familial instructions, and investigations continue.

The investigation into the deaths of senior Customs officer Maneesh Vijay, his sister, and their mother has intensified, with police aiming to determine the exact cause of death. Maneesh Vijay, an IRS officer, his sister Shalini Vijay, and their mother Shakuntala Agarwal were found dead under mysterious circumstances.

Maneesh and Shalini were discovered hanging in their residence in Kochi, while their mother's body was found draped in a cloth with flowers on her bed.
