Mr Janjua’s body was discovered by his friend and taken to Cooper Hospital for post mortem. “He was not feeling well so I took him to the hospital last night where he was diagnosed with acidity. In the morning I got a call from his wife, who stays in Punjab, saying he was not answering his phone. When nobody answered the door, we called the police and discovered he was dead,” his friend told the press.
Additional Commissioner of Police (north region) Fatehsingh Patil told news agency PTI that Mr Janjua was found dead in his apartment in Goregaon. However, he refused to comment on whether the death was from natural causes or a case of suicide.
