With the help of his driving licence, the police could identify the man late at night as Jagdish Bhanuram Samade of Govandi in Mumbai.
The police informed the Samade's family in Govandi.
Kishor, the elder brother of Samade, said it was a shock for him and his mother Sukdabai, who came to the city in the wee hours today.
"He was working at a paint shop and was missing from Sunday morning," Kishor said.
The reason behind the suicide could not be ascertained. "There was no suicide note in his pocket," said API S S Daddikar, the investigating officer. "Samade is survived by his wife and two children."
