A 50-year-old was found dead in the servants' quarters of Rashtrapati Bhavan, police said on Friday.
Triloki Chand, who was employed in the President’s Secretariat as a Class IV employee, was unwell for the past few months and undergoing treatment, police said, quoting his colleagues.
On Thursday, a police control room (PCR) call was received about a foul smell emanating from the quarters. Police reached the spot and broke open the gate as it was locked from outside.
“The deceased was found on the bed. No foul play suspected. It seems that the man died around five days ago. The body has been shifted to the mortuary for post mortem. The cause of death can only be clear after the post mortem report. We are trying to contact family members of the deceased,” said a police official.
