The son of special CBI judge B H Loya on Sunday said the family was convinced that his father had died of natural causes.

“My father died of natural causes, our family is convinced it was a natural death… I have made myself clear that we do not have a suspicion… It was a natural

death,” Anuj Loya said. Asked about the petitions filed before the Bombay High Court and Supreme Court seeking a probe into his father’s death, Anuj said, “I

do not have anything to say about it. I am no one to talk about it.

“I am speaking on behalf of the entire family, including my aunt and my grandfather. We are clear about it.” On the future course of action, the family intended to

take, he said they were “trying to get things normal”.

The deceased judge’s father and Anuj’s aunt had alleged foul play behind his death. Justice Loya, had allegedly died of a cardiac arrest in Nagpur on

December 1, 2014, when he had gone to attend the wedding of a colleague’s daughter.

K B Katake, retired district judge and a family friend of Loya, who was also present at the conference, said, “The 85-year-old father of B H Loya is being

harassed by some people, who are asking some questions in respect of the death of his only son and that creates panic in the family.”

Katake and Anuj, along with his cousin Pratik Bhandari, spoke to the media at a lawyer’s office at Nariman Point in south Mumbai. Anuj is a second year student

of law in a Pune-based college. Katake said, “He (Anuj) is studying in the second year.
