A 38-year-old man was found dead under mysterious circumstances in a private lodge at Madiwala in Bengaluru, raising suspicion of a possible drug overdose or health-related complication. The deceased has been identified as Madhu, a resident of Puliyampatti in Tamil Nadu. According to the police, the private lodge is located at Maruti Nagar under the limits of Madiwala Police Station.
The police said a man, identified as Fajiulla Khan, had booked a room in the lodge. Madhu had reportedly entered the lodge and stayed in the same room without making an entry in the guest register. On May 20, Madhu was allegedly found lying motionless on the bed inside the room. Lodge staff alerted the police, who rushed to the spot.
They saw blood oozing from the victim’s mouth. Fajiulla Khan is absconding, police sources said. Investigators suspect that Madhu may have died either due to a drug overdose or because of a medical condition. The exact cause of death will be known only after the post-mortem examination. The body has been shifted to a hospital for autopsy, and the police have notified the deceased’s family.
Efforts are under way to track Fajiulla Khan. The post-mortem examination indicated that Madhu died of cardiac arrest and that he had a pre-existing heart condition. He checked into the hotel room — booked by his friend who is presently on the run — two weeks ago, a police officer said
