On Monday, a PCR call was received at Mehrauli Police Station with the caller saying that blood was seeping from inside a locked room, they said.

A police team responded to the call and visited the spot where it found a locked room on the first floor.

When the room was broken open, the team found a man, later identified as Akeel, dead near the stairs.
