New Delhi, April 24

The body of a 38-year-old man was found inside his car in Govindpuri, southeast Delhi, this afternoon, with the police suspecting that he might have died due to suffocation or ill health, said DCP Chinmoy Biswal.

The man, identified as Rupesh, used to work for a taxi service. He had reached the location at 5 am yesterday and parked the vehicle in front of a shop. Later the shop owner asked him to move the car from there, to which Rupesh replied that he would leave soon, the DCP said.

He then slept inside the car. At 2 pm when the shopkeeper again asked him to remove the car, Rupesh told him that he would leave soon, he said.

When the shopkeeper again went to Rupesh at 3 pm, he was found unconscious, following which the police was informed about it. Police officials found him dead.

The man died probably due to suffocation or ill health. His employer said Rupesh was an alcoholic, the police said, adding that no injury marks were found on the body nor any weapon was recovered from inside the car, the DCP added. – TNS
