A 29-year-old man was found dead with injuries in Mayur Vihar here on Thursday, with preliminary investigation suggesting that he may have fallen from a building rooftop, police said.

The deceased was identified as Mohammad Ashraf, a resident of Gharoli village in the Ghazipur area in east Delhi, they said.

According to police, a PCR call was received at Ghazipur police station regarding a man lying dead in a parking area near Shiv Mandir Chowk.

''During an enquiry, teams found that Ashraf worked as a tailor in Noida and had recently returned from Bengaluru,'' a senior police officer said.
