After two months, the body has been recovered. We strongly feel that it is a suspicious death and not a natural death,” Kumar said, adding Manideep’s parents are in agony and apprehending that something happened on May 5 itself.He requested the Central government to allow the parents to go to Finland and make enquiries and see the body.“We demand that the death should be investigated properly. They (Finnish authorities) are supposed to investigate the circumstances under which the boy disappeared and how the death occurred,” he said.Kumar further claimed that after the case was registered by the Finnish police, initially brief information was given to the family regarding the investigation, but after May 29, they “stopped” the communication.Gujja Muthyam Reddy, father of Manideep Reddy, had on June 19 said a friend of his son, who hails from Delhi, had lodged a complaint with Finnish police following their request.He had told PTI that after May 29, all communication between the family members and the concerned authorities in Finland had completely ceased.He had then alleged that despite his repeated emails, telephone calls, and continuous efforts to obtain updates regarding the investigation and the whereabouts of his son, the concerned authorities have not been responding to his emails or calls and have not provided any further information regarding the progress of the investigation.
