A man allegedly jumped to death on Wednesday from a high-rise building in central Delhi's Civic Centre complex. The deceased identified as Divesh used to work as a data entry operator on the eighth floor of the building that houses offices of the Income Tax department.
According to Shweta Chauhan, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Central district, at 10.25 AM, Civic Centre security in-charge SK Tiwari informed them that an unknown person was lying dead in front of the Income Tax building at E-2 block.
“On reaching the spot, it appeared that the person had jumped off the Income Tax building,” said the DCP adding that further investigation is on. A senior Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) official said, “We got to know when we were at our office at the Civic Centre that a man had jumped from the towering block that houses the Income Tax office. He was not an MCD employee.” He allegedly jumped from the tallest building in the complex, the official added.
The state-of-the-art complex houses five buildings, the tallest of which is 28-stories high.
