A Delhi court judge reportedly died by suicide and his body was found hanged at his home in Safdarjung area.
Delhi Police reached the spot after receiving information about the incident and began investigating the 35-year-old judge’s suicide case, news agency PTI reported.
The body has been sent for autopsy, officials said, adding that further investigations are underway.

As per official records, the deceased judge joined the Delhi Judicial Services on June 19, 2021. He completed his law education from Symbiosis Law College, Pune in 2018.

Last month, a 26-year-old lawyer working at the Delhi High Court allegedly jumped to death from the 15th floor balcony of a hotel in New Delhi’s Connaught Place on Sunday evening.
The deceased, a resident of Mahaveer area, left behind a two-page suicide note in which he did not hold anyone responsible for his death, police said.
The police said that the deceased reached the fifteenth floor balcony by breaking through the security barrier, as the windows of his hotel room were closed.
According to police, bottles of alcohol were found in his room. The family was looking for him and learned that he was at the hotel. However, by the time they reached him, he had already jumped from the hotel balcony to his death.
