New Delhi: A 31-year-old man's body was found hanging in the VVIP area near India Gate on Monday.
The man, reportedly, identified as Sheshnath, hailing from the Nangloi area of West Delhi committed suicide by hanging himself from a tree.
His body was found at around 7 AM on Monday morning by passersby.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Vijay Singh said, “Sheshnath was identified from his identity card found from his possession. He seemed to be partially handicapped. The reason behind this extreme step is yet to be ascertained as no suicide note was found on him.”

He was found hanging from the tree at a park near a pond at the Janpath crossing close to India Gate.
The family members of the deceased were informed by the police and his post-mortem examination was also conducted.
