A 30-year-old man was found dead at his Mukundpur residence in north-west Delhi on August 18, the police said on Sunday. The body had a bullet injury on the left side of the chest.
A police officer said that the victim has been identified as Suresh. A case under IPC Section 302 (murder) has been registered.
Suresh’s family found his body in a pool of blood. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he was declared dead on arrival. The body was handed over to his family after an autopsy.
A preliminary probe, however, indicated that Suresh might have committed suicide. The forensic team was called to collect samples from the crime scene for further investigation. The murder weapon was not found at the spot.
