The death of a man who was found inside a burning car is not being treated as suspicious, police said on Friday.

At around 8pm, officers were called to investigate a burning car and discovered Khera's body inside.

"Following extensive enquiries which have been made, police will be referring this matter to the Coroner," a police spokesperson said.

"We are ensuring that Mr Khera's family in India are being kept updated and providing them with as much support as we can.

"Our sympathies are with them at this extremely difficult time."
