A day after it was revealed that Delhi Police had found some medicines at the farmhouse where the actor was staying, a woman came forward with the shocking allegations.
Satish suffered a heart attack after returning from the party at businessman Vikas Malu's farmhouse in Delhi. Around 12 pm, the actor felt uneasy and was taken to the hospital, and on the way, Kaushik passed away. Now, a woman, claiming to be the wife of Vikas, has levelled serious charges at him after she accused the businessman of murdering Kaushik over the Rs 15 crore dispute.
She has also filed a complaint at the police station, following which an inquiry has been initiated into the allegations of foul play.
Delhi Police told ANI in a statement, "In actor Satish Kaushik`s death case, an inquiry has been initiated into allegations of foul play levelled by a woman (wife of one Vikas Malu). An inspector-level officer from the South West district has beenasked to probe the entire matter. The woman will be called by police to record her statement."
Talking to ANI, Vikas Malu`s wife said, "I have got a complaint registered in connection with Satish Ji`s death. He had come to my husband`s farmhouse for a party, where his health deteriorated. Some objectionable medicines have also been found from the farmhouse."
The woman has also revealed that there was a business dispute between Kaushik and Malu and shared that in August 2022, an argument broke out between the two in which the actor demanded Rs 15 crore.
"Satish Ji and my husband had business connections as well. In August 2022, an argument broke out between Satish Ji and my husband, where Satish ji demanded Rs 15 crorethat he had earlier given to him. But, my husband said that he will give the money in India," she further alleged.
"When I later asked him about the money, my husband said that he had borrowed the money from Satish ji, but he suffered loss during the Covid period. My husband was not in the mood to return the money, he even said that he will use blue pills and Russian girls to do away with Satish Kaushik. That`s why I have brought this angle to the police for fair investigation."
The detailed post-mortem report of Kaushik has confirmed that the death was a "natural" one and occurred due to `cardiac arrest`. As per the post-mortem report, the cause of death was cardiac arrest due to coronary artery blockage which is associated with coronary artery disease.
