The youth, identified as Saroj Nayak, was in the city in connection with a job assignment at Tech Mahindra here.

Though, prima facie it appeared to be a case of suicide, other angles were being explored, police said.

The body was found Monday night. The incident comes within two weeks of a software engineer Sandip Shelke jumping to death from the seventh floor of his office building due to "work pressure".
