Vadodara: Account department clerk of city based Parul University Harish Rana was found dead in car in suspicious condition. Rana’s letter has revealed several wrongdoings he claimed to have witnessed in Parul University’s management.

Rana’s dead body was found on driving seat of Maruti Zen car on Kamatibaug main road in Vadodara. As 44-year old Rana didn’t return from job, his son Rushi had started search with his friends, during which Rana’s car was spotted. Rushi and his friends with the help of others took Rana to Narhari hospital where he was declared dead. Panel postmortem has concluded that Rana died due to heart attack. However Rana’s family is not ready to believe this. The family alleges that Rana’s body had injury marks. Harish Rana’s brother Shailesh Rana says Harishbhai was in depression for last tome time. Last Sunday only he told that he was tortured and pressurized by University management to do unethical works.
