A 35-year-old man ended his life by hanging himself from the ceiling fan of a hotel room, allegedly using a dupatta belonging to his assistant, officials said on Saturday.
They added that the incident took place on Friday evening and the two were staying together at the hotel in Moti Nagar.
Hotel staff learned of the incident after the woman called the front desk and then alerted the police. Police launched an investigation after arriving at the scene and informed the deceased’s family members.
The deceased and his assistant were married, but had known each other for a long time.
Moti Nagar Station House Officer (SHO) Inspector Varinderpal Singh Uppal said the man worked in a hosiery factory. The duo had an argument over some things but later resolved it on their own.
The SHO added that the woman told the police that the man was forcing her to stay with him even though they were both married.
The woman said that when she went to the bathroom after settling the argument, the man took the extreme step. She found the body when she came out of the bathroom and raised the alarm.
Hotel employee Amit Kumar said the duo booked a room and presented their ID cards.
The SHO added that the police have started an investigation following a statement from the wife and brother of the deceased. He said the families of the man and the woman were aware of their relationships.
