"On Monday, when the sweeper went to clean the rooms, he knocked on Yadav's room, but there was no response. So, the sweeper returned with a duplicate key and let himself in, only to find Yadav hanging by a shawl from the ceiling fan," said an officer from the Gamdevi police station, adding, "The ashram employees immediately informed us and we rushed his body to the hospital, where he was declared dead."
Additionally, while searching his room, the Gamdevi police found a suicide note, that according to sources, names some officers in the Army.
"We have registered an accidental death report (ADR) and are investigating the case," said DCP (Zone 2) Dr Dnyaneshwar Chavhan.
