NEW DELHI: A 36-year-old businessman was found dead with a gunshot wound on his right temple in Vivek Vihar area in east Delhi on Thursday morning. A friend of the deceased, who was also with him when the incident took place, claimed that he shot himself.
Amit Sharma, deputy commissioner of police, Shahdara, said “The weapon has been seized. Whether the businessman shot himself or not will only be clear once we get the forensic report.”
Police were informed around 11.30am about a man found dead in an SUV car.
The deceased was identified as Sachin Agarwal, a resident of Surajmal Vihar C Block area. He ran a tiles business.
Agarwal was in his car outside his house with another friend Prasoon when the incident took place. Prasoon later told police that while they were in the car, he shot himself.
Agarwal is survived by his wife and two children. While a police officer said that prima facie it appears to be a case of suicide, his relatives say that he couldn’t have committed suicide.
“The weapon used was unlicensed,” said a police officer.
Agarwal, along with his wife and friends, had gone to attend a party at a hotel in his Fortuner car. They all returned in the morning and after having breakfast, he stepped out to drop his friends. “Agarwal dropped one of his friends after which he and Prasoon were sitting in the car outside his house. Prasoon claimed that Agarwal shot himself soon after which he informed a security guard and called the family members. They rushed him to a nearby hospital but Agarwal was declared dead on arrival,” the officer added.
