The mortal remains of Sethu Nadarajan, 45, a driver who died in an accident in Saudi Arabia on October 29, was brought to the city in the afternoon on Wednesday.
Shashi Tharoor, MP, had taken up the matter of delay in releasing the body with Saudi Arabia's Ambassador to India, Hamid Ali Rao.
The Ambassador said in his letter to Mr. Tharoor that as Sethu's was a case of unnatural death, the Saudi police had released the body after completing their investigations.
Moreover, the family members of Sethu had raised suspicions about the cause of his death.
