vIndianz.com (24 Feb, 2010) — Mumbai: A scientist of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) was found murdered at his residence in south Mumbai, police said on Tuesday.

“Mahadevan Padmanabhan Iyer (42), a mechanical engineer working in BARC’s Reactor Group, was found murdered at his residence ‘Anand Bhavan’ near Breach Candy Hospital late last (Monday) night,” Deputy Commissioner of Police Sanjay Mohite said, according to Press Trust of India.

Hailing from Tamil Nadu, Iyer was found lying in his bed with a rope tied around his neck, which bore injuries. Iyer was last seen on Saturday (February 20), he said.

The postmortem report revealed that he was assaulted with a blunt object, which led to internal bleeding in the brain, Mohite said.

Subsequently, a murder case was registered. Iyer’s body was found by his neighbour who entered the house using a duplicate key as Iyer did not respond to his calls since the past two days.

The neighbour grew suspicious when he found newspapers lying outside Iyer’s house since Saturday, police said.
