NEW DELHI: The body of a man was discovered hanging inside a locked women's washroom at the Inderlok Metro station premises, according to police officials on Sunday.
The incident came to light at approximately 5:33 pm on Saturday after a call was received reporting a foul odor emanating from a ladies' toilet that was locked from the inside.
Upon arriving at the scene, the investigating officer, along with staff from the Netaji Subhash Place (NSP) Metro Police Station, forced open the door and found the body of an unidentified man, aged around 40, hanging inside.
Prima facie, police indicated that the deceased appeared to have been a caretaker of the washroom facility, as he had not been seen for at least two days prior to the discovery.
A crime team was summoned to the spot to conduct an investigation. Following the on-site inspection, the body was transported to the mortuary at BSA Hospital, where it will be preserved for 72 hours. Efforts are underway to establish the identity of the deceased with the assistance of Metro officials.
Authorities have initiated proceedings under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS).
This is a developing story. Further details are awaited.
