Destruction of evidence

dear members

the matter is of a clear case of suicide, and confirmed by police and court (that it is suicide, not murder).

now the issue is, a few days later (one month after suicide), in order to clean up and sanitize his place, the landlord gets the room of incident whitewashed . The police and relatives of deceased have charged the landlord with 'destruction of evidence' .  Does this charge make sense, Is it a valid charge ?  how does the landlord rub off this charge off himself ? please do suggest. thank you

Dear Saxena,

  I take this opportunity to say that police has very little authority to say this incident as suicide unless it is supported by a Post Mortem  Report issued by the Autopsy Surgeon,you haven't whispered about the Autopsy Surgeon's report. Can you tell me whether any FIR has been started over this unnatural death or not, in absence of any FIR or written direction from police for keeping the place as sacred and guarded/locked the landlord has every authority to wash off  his room,and he has not done any offence.

thanks sirs for the replies.

Due to public nature of this forum, wish not to reveal details.

yes, FIR was filed but after the 'whitewash' took place by the landlord.

Autopsy was done, declared suicide by all concerned (doc, police, even court).

( Landlord is being harassed by the victim's family. )

Can 'destruction of evidence' be applied to a case of suicide ?
