Police was informed about the incident at The Royal Plaza hotel around 9.15 pm on Sunday.

The deceased was identified as Rajesh Singh, a practising advocate at the Delhi High Court who had checked into the hotel the earlier evening.

“A police team rushed to the hotel and found that the victim, identified as Rajesh Singh, a resident of Mahavir Enclave, had allegedly jumped from the 15th floor of the building,” read the statement.
