A 63-year-old general physician was found dead with his hands tied in his house in Jangpura Extension here on Friday evening, police said.

Police suspect it to be a case of robbery as the house was ransacked, an officer said.

A PCR call was received at about 6.50 pm. Local police which responded to the call found Dr Chander Paul, the victim, in the kitchen of his house.
