The body of a 26-year-old interior decorator was found hanging from a noose in a guest house on Faridabad’s Wazirpur Road.
The youth was in an extramarital affair, and was staying with his girlfriend at the guest house on Tuesday night.
Reportedly, a brawl broke out between the two, resulting in his girlfriend leaving the guest house late at night.
The deceased’s family learnt of the incident on Wednesday morning and alleged murder, suspecting the involvement of the deceased’s girlfriend and the guest house staff.
A senior police officer said that following the complaint, a probe was initiated and action will be taken after verifying facts.
The deceased has been identified as Nazir, a resident of Tikawali village in Faridabad, and his girlfriend is a resident of the same village.
Nazir and his girlfriend were both married to other partners and each had three children. Initial investigations revealed that their relationship had been strained for some time.
According to the complaint filed by the deceased’s family, Nazir went to the Lavish Guest House, around 10 pm on Tuesday.
He was accompanied by his girlfriend.
The two checked-into the room and started talking. Around 11 pm, when the woman asked for a break-up, a heated argument ensued between them, leading to a physical altercation. His girlfriend left around 12 am, while Nazir stayed in the room.
The property’s caretaker became suspicious as he noticed no movement from the room. He tried to open the door, but it was locked from inside. The staff then informed the police, which later reached the guest house, broke down the door, and found Nazir hanging from the fan with a scarf.
The family stated that the scarf belonged to his girlfriend.
His body was sent for post-mortem.
“This is a murder, not a suicide, as Nazir’s feet were on the ground. I strongly suspect that he was murdered and his body was hanged. Police should conduct a fair investigation,” said Imran Khan, Nazir’s brother.
Ata Ahmed, Nazir’s father, also expressed suspicion. He was of the opinion that his son would never take such a step.
“We are investigating the matter seriously. The property’s staff and the woman are being interrogated. The exact cause of death will be ascertained after the post-mortem report”, said Yashpal Yadav, the spokesperson of Faridabad police.
