New Delhi:
Rajendra Vadra, father-in-law of Priyanka Gandhi, was on Friday found hanging from the ceiling fan at a guest house in Delhi, police sources said.
The body of Vadra, who was in his sixties, was found this morning by an employee of City Inn guest house in south Delhi's Yusuf Sarai where he was staying for the past few days.
The employees immediately informed the police, sources said adding they also took him to a hospital in Saket where he was declared brought dead. The body was later shifted to Safdarjung hospital for post mortem.
Police said a case has been registered and they were investigating the matter.
Vadra was suffering from cirrhosis of liver for the past few years. He underwent treatment for cirrhosis in Max Hospital and was discharged about 12 days ago, a Max Hospital official said.
He was cremated at the Lodhi Road crematorium.
Congress president Sonia Gandhi, her son Rahul along with Priyanka and her husband Robert Vadra were present at the cremation.
Differences cropped up between Robert and his father few years back resulting in the son issuing a public notice in newspapers stating that Rajinder Vadra and his brother Richard were "duping" people by promising jobs and other favours while claiming that they were working on his behalf.
