A 33-year-old Croatian national allegedly committed suicide at Aura Hotel in South Delhi’s Mahipalpur on Saturday. Police said no suicide has been recovered from the spot.
According to a senior police official, the deceased has been identified as Nenad Kresoja, who worked in a school in Croatia. Police are trying to find out in what capacity he used to work in the school.
According to police, Kresoja had checked in the hotel on 14th July. On Friday evening, his family tried contacting him many times on phone but he did not pick up the call.
“The deceased’s daughter had called him in the morning many times but after he did not pick up for quite sometime, she requested a local Delhi contact to go and check at the hotel. The person went to the hotel at 2 am and enquired about Kresojo but since it was late at night, the hotel employees did not allow him to go to the room but instead made a call to him room from the reception,” said the police official.
“The call made from the reception went unanswered after which staff was sent to the room number 106 with a spare key. The staff opened the room door to see Kresoja lying in a pool of blood. Kresoja died due to the loss of excessive blood loss,” police said.
Additional Commissioner of Police, South, Nupur Prasad said self-inflicted injuries were found on the deceased’s elbow made through window glass.
“A CFSl team visited the site. Ambassador of Croatia in India Peter ljubicic also visited the scene of suicide. Prima facie it appears to be a case of suicide,” said Prasad, adding, “The deceased has been on tourist visa and had visited China and Nepal before coming to India.”
