Another official disclosed that the post-mortem was postponed for several hours because of legal and police protocol. Apparently, the post-mortem was first being done at 1:30 pm, but it was delayed because the necessary paperwork wasn’t completed.
The official stated that the body was then shifted to the morgue and later, doctors demanded a letter from senior officials of the local police station. Because of this, the post-mortem could begin only at 4.15 pm.
The aforementioned portal stated that Thapan’s relatives would have arrived in Mumbai late in the evening while traveling there by train.
