A 30-year-old Delhi court judge was found dead by suicide at his home in Safdarjung, with a relative alleging that he had been facing domestic issues with his wife.
The judge, who was posted at Karkardooma court, was found hanging inside the bathroom of his second-floor flat in Green Park Main.
Police and building security personnel had to break open a window to gain access after the door was found locked from the inside.
The judge was rushed to Safdarjung Hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead.
A relative told reporters that the judge had been facing domestic issues with his wife for close to two months.
The judge's father arrived in Delhi from Alwar on Friday after receiving a distress call from his son and informed police about the domestic differences.
No signs of foul play have been found, but all angles are being examined as part of the inquest proceedings.
The body has been sent for post-mortem, and the family has taken it to Alwar for the last rites.
