The team would visit the residence of Jagdanand Panda, a 1983-batch Orissa cadre IAS officer in its bid to find clues to ascertain the reason behind the extreme step taken by him, Bargarh Superintendent of Police Ashok Biswal said.
If necessary, the team could record statements of certain people in Delhi and also conduct inquiry at the office of Panda, who was Protector General of Emigrants, sources said.
They said the ballistic experts from Bhubaneswar, who conducted thorough investigation at Panda's house in his native village Deogaon near here on Friday, indicated that the slain family members of the 54-year-old officer had been shot when they were asleep.
There are indications that Panda's wife Surekha had been killed first, probably when she was sitting on a sofa, while his father and two sisters were shot subsequently before the bureaucrat pointed the gun at himself, they said.
The lone survivor is Panda's 22-year-old son Swapneswar, who is in a state of coma and undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Bhubaneswar, police said.
The IAS officer was apparently depressed due to CBI raids on his office and residential premises, they said.
