Police officials, along with a forensic science laboratory (FSL) team, inspected the scene and collected evidence.
Investigators are also examining CCTV footage from the building and surrounding areas to establish the sequence of events. People who were present in the vicinity are being questioned as part of the probe.
Distressed over money problems
A preliminary investigation suggested that Jain had been under stress over a monetary issue. Police said he had left his home around three days before the incident. However, officials have not yet established the exact circumstances that led to his death.
Sector 126 Station House Officer (SHO) Sumnesh Kumar said the man had checked into the Airbnb on Friday afternoon. Police are verifying the circumstances surrounding his stay and the events leading up to the incident.
The deceased’s family has been informed, and further legal proceedings are underway. Police said the investigation is continuing and the exact reason behind the suicide will be determined after examining all available evidence.
