New Delhi : A 58-year-old lawyer was found dead in his Tis Hazari courts chamber Tuesday. The police suspect it to be a case of suicide.
The body of Om Prakash was recovered when the police broke open the door of his small chamber, No. 563, after his wife Renu informed the police that he did not respond to her repeated calls.
According to the police, Prakash was a heavy drinker and some liquor bottles were found from his chamber. No suicide note was recovered.
The body has been sent for post-mortem examination. The police suspect it could be a case of suicide as Prakash was suffering from depression and had not visited his home, in Yamuna Nagar in east Delhi, for the past three days.
“Prakash didn’t open the door to his elder son who visited him here late Monday. He just waved from inside and asked him to go. We are ruling out foul play as the door was locked from inside and he had no injury marks,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (North Delhi) Devesh Srivastva said.
