A 37-year-old man died by suicide at the Le Meridien hotel in Delhi on Tuesday afternoon. The deceased has been identified as Divij Maria.
Delhi Police received a PCR call around 3 pm from the hotel reporting that a man had jumped from the fourth floor towards the poolside. He was taken to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, where doctors declared him dead.
Police said Divij had quit his job at a Gurugram company about six months ago and was undergoing treatment for depression. A crime team inspected the scene and collected evidence. An inquest is being conducted under section 194 of the BNSS.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Delhi's five-star hotels, often located on busy stretches, have become frequent sites for such incidents, raising questions about emergency response protocols at private properties. The inquest under BNSS Section 194 means the police will record statements from family, hotel staff and witnesses to establish whether there was any abetment or negligence. The key detail to emerge from the investigation will be whether the hotel's safety infrastructure, such as barriers near open poolside areas, met the municipal building by-laws. The post-mortem report and the deceased's medical records for depression treatment will be critical documents in the case.
