New Delhi [India], Apr. 26 (ANI): A Delhi-based jeweller allegedly committed suicide after jumping off the sixth floor of Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) building in the national capital, after a raid was conducted at his store and residence in the city.
The jeweller, who has been identified as Gaurav Gupta, was found lying in a pool of blood after jumping off the building at around 12:00 p.m.
He was immediately shifted to Safdarjung Hospital by the officials present at the CGO complex but was declared brought dead on arrival.
According to the DRI officials, the man was neither summoned nor arrested after the raid.
