    He lead the team responsible for IRNSS satellites no doubt he was an intellectual slipping and losing his life is not a reasonable possibility. We should not rule out role of unknown hands as many isro and nuclear scientists have met such accidental deaths case in point is recent revelations by ex director of SAC Dr Tapan Mishra.
