No one has been made a suspect yet in the death that was reported on Monday evening.

“Prima facie, no suspicion has been raised so far regarding the death. Our team received information at 6:19 PM about a suicide by hanging at a house in Vasant Kunj, following which a team rushed to the spot,” the officer said.

The responding police team found the house locked and took assistance from the Delhi Fire Service to open the door, the officer said.

Inside, the police found a partially decomposed body of a man hanging from a ceiling fan with a plastic rope.

The body was sent to Safdarjung Hospital for post-mortem.
