Delhi Jeweller Allegedly Commits Suicide, Jumps to Death From Directorate of Revenue Intelligence Building

A Delhi-based jeweller allegedly committed suicide after jumping from the sixth floor of Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) building in the national capital. The incident took place after a raid was conducted at his store and residence in the city. The man identified as Gaurav Gupta, was found lying in a pool of blood. He was immediately taken to Safdarjung Hospital but was declared brought dead on arrival.

According to PTI reports, the man was neither summoned nor arrested after the raid. According to a Times of India report, Delhi Police is treating the case as a custodial death and is trying to find out who allowed Gaurav and his father to enter the DRI office and who issued the visitor pass to access the sixth floor. Apparently, the floor is accessible to only those who get summoned by DRI.

The wife of the deceased jeweller, Stuti Gupta, has asked for stringent action against a DRI official Nishant and his team. She also alleged that Gaurav was murdered by the said DRI officials. The body will be handed over to the family after a post-mortem examination gets completed.
