A 32-year-old man died after falling from Le Meridien Hotel in central Delhi on Sunday. Divij Maria was taken to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead. Police said he was battling depression.
The incident occurred at the five-star hotel in Lutyens' Delhi. Officers are investigating and have said no foul play is suspected at this stage. The body has been sent for post-mortem, and police will record statements from hotel staff and family members.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The hotel sits in Lutyens' Delhi, an area under the New Delhi Municipal Council and the Delhi Police's New Delhi district. Le Meridien is a five-star property on Windsor Place, about 500 metres from India Gate. Suicide by jumping from a high-rise is classified as an unnatural death under Section 174 CrPC, requiring a police inquest and a post-mortem at a government hospital, which RML Hospital provides. The Delhi Police's sub-inspector will now record statements of hotel staff and check CCTV footage before filing an accidental death report, and the family's statement will determine whether a formal investigation proceeds. The next step is the post-mortem report, which typically takes two to three days.
