Elon Musk Supports Indian-Origin Suchir Balaji’s Mother in Dispute Over Son’s Mysterious Death

Dispute Over Son’s Mysterious Death: A request by Purnima Ramarao, the mother of Indian-origin tech professional Suchir Balaji, for an impartial investigation into her son’s suspicious death has drawn international attention. Elon Musk has backed allegations of wrongdoing in the death of Suchir Balaji, a 26-year-old tech researcher of Indian descent and ex-OpenAI worker.

Poornima Ramarao, Balaji’s mother, has requested an FBI investigation, claiming that evidence disputes the San Francisco Police Department's determination of suicide.

A medical officer ruled his death as suicide and the San Francisco police said, there are “no evidence of foul play was found during the initial investigation.” However, the 26-year-old Indian-origin techie’s mother has called for an FBI investigation, casting doubts on the police’s conclusion that her son’s death was a suicide.

“We hired private investigator and did second autopsy to throw light on cause of death. Private autopsy doesn’t confirm cause of death stated by police,” reads a post shared on the profile of X user Poornima Ramarao.

“Suchir’s apartment was ransacked , sign of struggle in the bathroom and looks like some one hit him in bathroom based on blood spots. It’s a cold blooded mu*d*r declared by authorities as suicide,” the post further says.

In her post, she tagged billionaire Elon Musk and Indian-American tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who are set to be part of the incoming Donald Trump administration.
