As per Dainik Bhaskar media report, the incident occurred on September 23, when hotel staff noticed that he had not opened the door of his room till late in the morning.

Speaking to PTI, Barmer Kotwali SHO Balbhadra Singh said that the preliminary investigation suggests a case of suicide by consuming poison.
"Documents recovered from the room helped us establish his identity. His family has been informed," he added.
The police sent his body for a post-mortem to ascertain the cause of death and registered a case in this regard. An investigation is underway.
