A 40-year-old AIIMS doctor was found dead inside his rented accommodation in south Delhi’s Hauz Khas on Friday afternoon, the police said.
They said no note has been recovered. The police said they received information that a foul smell was emanating from a house in Gautam Nagar.
“After reaching the spot, the police found the decomposed body inside a room on the second floor. The room was locked from the inside,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Atul Kumar Thakur.
