At around 1.50 pm, the driver jumped into the balcony of the room where the MP was staying and saw Mohan Delkar hanging from the fan. The hotel staff immediately called the police and apprised them about the situation.
Mumbai Police informed that the hotel's structure is such that it was not easy to take down the door and for that reason, it took such a long time to get inside. Mohan Delkar had checked in the hotel on Sunday evening.
