New Delhi, March 7 A 24-year-old man working as a security guard was found hanging from a ceiling fan in a rented room in Asola village, south Delhi, police said on Saturday.
A PCR call was received at the Maidangarhi police station on Friday regarding a suspected suicide in the area, they said.
The caller, Harimohan, along with his son, informed the police that the deceased, identified as Dileep Kumar Bairwa, had moved into the rented room about three days ago, they added.
According to the police, the matter came to light after Bairwa's brother-in-law contacted Harimohan's son to inquire whether Dileep was present in the room, as his mobile phone was switched off.
Harimohan and his son went to the room and knocked on the door, but received no response. They found the door locked from the inside. Suspecting something was wrong, they forced open the door and found Bairwa hanging from the ceiling fan with a nylon rope, a police officer said.
The police were informed, and a team rushed to the spot. A crime team was also called to inspect the scene and collect evidence.
Dileep was originally from the Karauli district in Rajasthan and had been working as a security guard in the city, the police said.
The body was later taken to a hospital for a post-mortem examination and further legal proceedings.
Prima facie, there is no indication of foul play, the police said.
