Delhi’s Star City Mall became the center of a macabre puzzle Tuesday morning after a driver’s body turned up inside a stationary Honda City in its basement lot in Mayur Vihar. The revelation has prompted urgent questions about what transpired in the sealed confines.
Staff on morning patrol flagged the car, idle since late evening, with blackened windows betraying no life. Forced access exposed the tragedy: the man inside had breathed his last.
Mayur Vihar cops descended quickly, documenting the site meticulously and arranging postmortem. Absence of scuffle indicators inside suggests non-violent ends like suffocation or suicide, but detectives aren’t dismissing external interference.
Owner Gaurav, working at the HDFC Life unit within the mall, had engaged the driver digitally. Contacting relatives and vetting associations are top priorities alongside CCTV scrutiny to timeline the parking.
Area tension is palpable with enhanced patrols in place. The force emphasizes a comprehensive inquiry, banking on forensic insights to demystify the death and reassure a rattled populace.
