A 29-year-old man was found dead in his rented accommodation in Gurugram’s Sector 53. The deceased, Rohit Lal, originally from Nagpur, was working with the Quality Council of India in New Delhi and had been living alone in a paying guest (PG) flat.
The incident came to light on Thursday morning when a co-worker, who usually travelled to work with him, noticed something was wrong. Repeated phone calls went unanswered, and when Lal did not open his door, the colleague alerted the police.
Sex-enhancing drug overdose suspected
Police reached the spot and had to break open the door. Inside, they found Lal dead on his bed. During the initial search of the room, officers recovered several wrappers of medicines and health supplements, raising suspicion about what may have led to his sudden death.
According to preliminary findings, Lal had reportedly invited his fiancee over that day. However, before the meeting could happen, he is believed to have suffered a fatal medical episode.
Police suspect that he may have consumed a sex-enhancing drug, and a possible overdose could have triggered a heart attack. However, officials have stressed that this is only an initial assumption. Authorities have sent the viscera samples and recovered medicines for forensic examination. The exact cause of death will be confirmed only after the lab results are available.
