- The body of 28-year-old Faizan was found hanging at his rented house in CB Ganj area
- Faizan was a ward boy who married Jasmine a month ago and lived separately
- Jasmine found Faizan hanging from the ceiling fan on Sunday morning and informed the family
The body of a 28-year-old man was found hanging under suspicious circumstances at his rented house in the CB Ganj police station area here on Sunday, about a month after his love marriage, police said.
The man was identified as Faizan, a resident of Navadiya village, who worked as a ward boy at a private hospital.
Police said Faizan had married Jasmine, 22, and the couple had been living separately from their families in a rented house.
Faizan went to sleep after dinner on Saturday night. Despite sleeping in the same room, police, citing Jasmine's account, said she found him hanging from the ceiling fan with a dupatta only on Sunday morning when she woke up.
She then informed her family and in-laws about the incident, following which police were alerted.
Police said some members of Faizan's family were displeased with the marriage and had cut off ties with him. She said he remained under stress over the estrangement from his family.
Faizan's relatives told police that blood was oozing from his head and expressed suspicion over the circumstances surrounding his death.
Circle Officer (City-2) Nitin Kumar said police had collected evidence from the spot and recorded statements of family members.
The actual cause of death would become clear only after the post-mortem report, he said.
Police said further action would be taken based on the post-mortem report, evidence collected from the scene, and statements from family members.
