The body of a man in his 50s was allegedly found hanging from a tree at a park in Sarai Rohilla, north Delhi, on Friday, a police official said.

Police got the information about the incident around 6.45 am.

The body of a man aged between 50 and 55 years was found hanging from a tree. Prima facie, it appears to be a case of suicide, said Nupur Prasad, Deputy Commissioner of Police (north).

The body has not been identified yet and has been kept at a mortuary, she said.

Postmortem will be conducted if the body is not identified within 72 hours, the official said.

Man attempts suicide

In another incident, a 35-year-old man on Friday allegedly attempted suicide by consuming poison in Vijay Chowk, the official said.

The Parliament Street Police Station was informed at 10.41 am regarding the incident.

A team rushed to the spot and identified the man as Govindula Tirupati, a resident of Rajaram Dharampuri village in Karimnagar district of Andhra Pradesh.

Tirupati is undergoing treatment at Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, said DCP Madhur Verma, (New Delhi).

A plastic bottle of pesticide 'Monocil' was found with him, he said.

A printed letter in Telugu pertaining to his business was also found which was initially suspected to be a suicide note. Some clothes in a black bag were also there, the official said.

The family members have been informed about the incident. A statement will be recorded after he is declared fit by the doctors. The reason of his taking such an extreme step is still being probed, the DCP added.
