Last month a 26-year-old advocate practising at the Delhi high court allegedly jumped to death from the 15th-floor balcony of a hotel in New Delhi’s Connaught Place on Sunday evening.
Police said the deceased, a resident of Mahavir Enclave, also left behind a two-page suicide note in which he held nobody responsible for his death.
Police said the deceased reached the 15th-floor balcony by cutting through a guard barrier, as the windows of his hotel room were sealed.
According to police, bottles of alcohol were found in his room. The family had been looking for him and had got to know that he was at the hotel. However, by the time they reached him, he had already jumped to his death from the hotel balcony.
