A 50-year-old man was found dead in an apparent suicide at a five-star hotel in central Delhi, police officials said on Monday. The incident took place at Le Meridien New Delhi, a well-known luxury property located near key administrative areas of the capital.

The deceased has been identified as Parvinder Singh Juneja. According to police, he had checked into the hotel on the same day the incident occurred.

Incident discovered after same-day check-in

Preliminary information suggests that Juneja arrived at the hotel earlier in the day and was staying alone. Hotel staff alerted authorities after he was found unresponsive in his room. A police team reached the spot soon after and initiated standard procedures.

Officials said there were no immediate signs of foul play. No suicide note has been recovered so far, and the exact circumstances leading to the death are still being examined.

Previous stay during Christmas period

Police sources confirmed that the deceased had stayed at the same hotel for a few days during the Christmas period as well. Investigators are looking into whether there is any link between his earlier stay and the present incident.

CCTV footage from the hotel premises is being reviewed, and statements from hotel staff are being recorded as part of the ongoing investigation.

Police investigation underway

A senior police officer said the body has been sent for post-mortem examination to ascertain the precise cause of death. Further details are expected once forensic reports and background inquiries are completed.

Police have stated that they are also trying to contact the family members of the deceased to gather more information and provide necessary support.
