Gurugram, Mar 27 (PTI) A tattoo of his divorced wife’s name on his chest helped Haryana Police identify the body of a man found on the MG Road here last week, police said on Friday.
The deceased was a resident of Darjeeling and worked in catering in Gurugram, they said, adding that his cause of death will be known only after the post-mortem.
According to the police, on March 22, police had recovered an unidentified dead body from the roadside near the Power House Gate on MG Road.
During the investigation, the police discovered the name “Nisha” in English tattooed on the body’s chest, which proved to be an important link in his identification, the investigating officer ASI Om Prakash said.
Later, the police identified the deceased as Umesh Khati, a resident of Darjeeling, a senior police officer said, adding that the word “Nisha” tattooed on his chest was his ex-wife’s name.
Khati lived alone in Gurugram as his wife had left him several years ago, after they were divorced, he said.
Khati occasionally visited Darjeeling, but after the divorce, he spent most of his time in Gurugram, he said.
“His body was found lying on his stomach, and it’s likely he fell and died of suffocation. No criminal evidence has yet been established, and it is not possible to provide a clear cause of death,” the investigating officer said.
The cause of death will be known only after the post-mortem, which will be carried out only after his family arrives, the officer said. PTI COR SHS SHS
