Delhi Police have launched an investigation into the death of a 36-year-old man who allegedly died of electrocution in Uttam Nagar's Mata Rooprani Maggo Hospital, officials said on Friday.
According to police, a PCR call was received on July 13 from the Hospital, reporting the death of Karan Dev, a resident of Om Vihar, Phase 1A. He was brought to the hospital following an alleged electrocution incident and was declared dead on arrival. Initially, the family did not raise any objections and even requested that the post-mortem be waived, the Delhi police claimed. However, due to the relatively young age of the deceased and to rule out any unnatural circumstances, authorities proceeded with a post-mortem at Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital, the police said. Three days later, on July 16, the deceased's brother, Kunal, approached the police with suspicion regarding his brother's death. Following this, a preliminary inquiry was conducted. Based on the enquiry and the material available during the inquest proceedings, a case has been registered under the appropriate sections, and an investigation has been initiated, police said. More details are awaited. (ANI)
