The body was sent to Deen Dyal Updhyay Hospital for post mortem and a murder case has been lodged in this regard at Dwarka South Police Station, police said.
The owner of the car in which the body was found belongs to an Indian friend of the deceased, who lived in Dwarka sector 8 and was running a garment business.
