A former journalist was found dead in his apartment in Delhi’s Malviya Nagar locality on Friday evening, police said.
The 32-year-old man named Subhabrata Ghosh Chowdhury had worked at ANI - news wire agency - between the years 2017 to 2019. He was currently employed in a Public Relations firm, The Indian Express reported.
Chowdhury’s relatives alerted the police when they could not contact him over phone. His body was found in a partially decomposed state on the floor of his house.
The investigation is underway and the body was sent for post mortem on Saturday at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi.
He had a postgraduate diploma degree from the Times School of Journalism and a Master’s degree in English literature from University of Delhi. Ever since Chowdhury’s father died in 2021, he has been living alone in the apartment.
“Since April 25, he has severed all connections to the outside world and locked himself into his one-room apartment. The last I spoke to him was on April 15, the day of Bengali New Year. We had a chat on WhatsApp and he seemed pretty normal to me. But these days, kids seldom tell anything,” said Chowdhary’s relative.
One of his last posts on LinkedIn profile reads, “Self-motivation works when external forces don’t play spoilsport!”, The Indian Express reported.
