: The body of a 52-year-old businessman was found in his Toyota Corolla car in west Delhi’s Inderpuri on Thursday.
The deceased has been identified as Hemant Dhall, a resident of Gurugram.
Vijay Kumar, DCP (West), said Dhall had left his electronics showroom in central Delhi’s Karol Bagh in his car around 3 p.m. on Wednesday.

But he did not go home, prompting his family to file a complaint at the Ranjeet Nagar police station the same night.
Around 10 a.m. the next day, his body was found in his car on the campus of an institution in Inderpuri.
His wrist was slit, allegedly with a surgical blade found near his body. An alcohol bottle was also found in the vehicle.
The police said Dhall had left behind a suicide note in which he blamed losses in his business for ending his life.
Dhall’s colleagues, however, claimed that he had been murdered as there were some cut marks on his neck. The police said they would wait for the autopsy report before reaching any conclusion.
Note under scanner
The police, however, have sent the suicide note to fingerprint experts to ascertain its veracity.
Preliminary probe has revealed Dhall had suffered losses in the recent past because of which there had been a delay in salary payment to some of his employees.
