A 29-year-old Sudanese was found dead in his room in Swatantra Nagar in K.R. Puram police station limits on Monday night.
The deceased, Mazak Matet, was a law student studying in a private college. Matet lived alone in a room on the third floor of a building near his college. As he did not attend classes for the last few days, his friends went to check on him but did not get any response to their repeated calls.
They then informed the police who broke open the door and found the body in a decomposed state, the police said. The police also found a three-page note penned in Arabic.
The police got the text translated by a friend of the deceased. The police said that the deceased was in depression as he was facing a financial crisis. Matet had neither paid the college fee nor the room rent, the police have found.
Officials have informed his family.
A case has been registered at K.R. Puram police station.
