Itanagar: Former Chief Minister Kalikho Pul’s son, Shubanso Pul has been reportedly found dead under suspicious circumstances at his apartment in Brighton, Sussex in the UK, family sources informed on Tuesday.

He was the son of Pul’s first wife Dangwimsai Pul.

The Pul family is trying to get in touch with the Indian High Commission in the UK, so that Shubanso Pul’s body could be brought back home.

Kalikho Pul became the Chief Minister of the State for a brief period in 2016. With the support of a few elected members of the Congress and the Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Kalikho Pul assumed the post of Chief Minister. However, the Supreme Court of India ruled against this appointment on several grounds.

On August 9, 2016, Kalikho Pul allegedly hanged himself at his official residence in here. Pul’s supporters protested in Itanagar demanding an investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

While Dangwimsai Pul, the first wife had sought an inquiry into Kalikho’s death by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and has also moved the Supreme Court seeking a probe into the allegations of massive corruption mentioned in her husband’s suicide note, the Bharatiya Janata Party gave the party ticket to his third wife Dasanglu Pul, to contest the bye-elections from Hayuliang, which she won.
