GURGAON: The highly decomposed body of a 30-year-old man was fished out from a sewer line along Sohna road in Badshapur on Thursday evening. According to cops, an initial probe suggests the man was drunk and fell into the 12-foot-deep drain while walking along the road.
The man has been identified as Dinesh Kumar from Mathura of UP. He worked as a cab driver and stayed with his brother in Badshapur, cops said.
On Thursday evening, some shopkeepers noticed a foul smell coming from the sewer line and informed cops. According to the police, they had received information around 3pm on Thursday. A team from Badshapur police station soon reached the spot and spotted a body. They informed MCG and fire brigade officials, after which two earthmovers were brought.
