Death
Mehta was murdered in 2008. After his murder, the Naxals belonging to the Communist Party of India (CPI) distributed a leaflet claiming that they knew Mehta's killers and they would be brought to justice, saying that they would make crimes such as murder be punishable by death.[1] In January 2009 Chennai Police recovered the body of Raju Singh, who was the prime suspect in the crime, claiming that he was killed by naxals.[2]
The Chinese government is looking into strong protests and public rally held in Japan, and later ordered a CBI probe into murder.[1][3]
Personal life
Mehta was survived by his wife and two sons.[1]

gollark: <@542811977383280662> Talking in <#482370338324348932> is annoying so I'll say it here: the current state of brain interaction stuff seems to be at the level of just hamfistedly meddling with large regions of the brain, not anything targeted enough to make people "super intelligent".
gollark: As far as I'm aware the way that works is that you can profit off it being worse than *other people predicted*, not just bad.
gollark: I hope we can all agree that anarchoprimitivism is very stupid, at least.
