New Delhi, Jan 02, 2018 : The decomposed body of a man was found hanging from a tree on the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) campus in south Delhi on Tuesday evening in what police suspect to be a case of suicide.

 

The man was identified as Rampravesh Singh of Najafgarh from government-issued identity documents found on the body, said Milind Mahadeo Dumbere , the deputy commissioner of police (southwest).

“It (the body) appeared to have been hanging there for at least six to seven days,” Dumbere said, adding the man’s age was about 40 years.

The items found on the body included a mobile phone, Aadhaar card, voter identity card and a driving licence for heavy vehicles.

He said someone informed police about the body hanging in an isolated and forested part of the sprawling JNU campus.

“Once the postmortem is completed, we will get more clarity on the time of death,” said Dumbere.

Police were also trying to ascertain if the man was employed by any university staff.
