New Delhi, Apr 30 (PTI) A 37-year-old security guard was found dead under suspicious circumstances at an under-construction hospital site in outer Delhi’s Sultanpuri area, police said on Thursday.
The deceased has been identified as Sunil Kumar, a resident of Sultanpuri, who was employed as a night-duty guard at the construction site near Jalebi Chowk, they said.
According to police, Kumar had reported for duty at around 8 pm on April 29 but did not return home the following morning, prompting his family to make a PCR call reporting him missing at around 11.18 am.
During a search operation, his body was found lying in the bushes within the boundary walls of the construction site, an area that lacked electricity.
A police team reached the spot and shifted the body to Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital (SGMH) in Mangolpuri.
“No visible external injuries were noticed on the body during prima facie inspection. The exact cause of death will be ascertained after the post-mortem examination,” a senior police officer said.
Preliminary inquiry suggests that the deceased was likely addicted to narcotic substances, though police said all angles are being probed. PTI SSJ HIG HIG
