Man found dead with injuries in east Delhi, police suspect accidental fall

A 29-year-old man was found dead with injuries in Mayur Vihar here on Thursday, with preliminary investigation suggesting that he may have fallen from a building rooftop, police said.

The deceased was identified as Mohammad Ashraf, a resident of Gharoli village in the Ghazipur area in east Delhi, they said.

According to police, a PCR call was received at Ghazipur police station regarding a man lying dead in a parking area near Shiv Mandir Chowk.

''During an enquiry, teams found that Ashraf worked as a tailor in Noida and had recently returned from Bengaluru,'' a senior police officer said.

Police said he was involved in a domestic dispute with his wife, who had recently started living with her sister in a nearby locality. Police said Ashraf was allegedly a habitual drinker and had consumed alcohol on Wednesday.

''CCTV footage collected from the area was examined, and prima facie indicated that the man fell from the rooftop of a building,'' the officer said.

The crime team and forensic experts inspected the scene. No foul play has been noticed so far, said the officer, adding that further proceedings are underway.
