Independent MP from Dadra and Nagar Haveli Mohan Delkar allegedly died by suicide at a hotel in South Mumbai on Monday.  The investigation is underway after the body of Delkar was found inside the room of the hotel in south Mumbai's Marine Drive area. 

Mumbai Police officials have informed that a suicide note in Gujarati has been found along with the body and the cause of death will be ascertained after autopsy. Meanwhile, an accidental death report is registered based on the preliminary information.

Delkar was an independent MP from the Lok Sabha seat of Dadra and Nagar Haveli. Mohan Delkar was Congress president of Dadra and Nagar Haveli when he quit the party in 2019 to contest the national election as an independent.

He was 58-years-old. In 1989, he won the Lok Sabha election for the first time by winning from Dadar and Nagar Lok Sabha constituency. In 2019, Delkar decided to separate himself from the Congress party and contested as an independent candidate in the Lok Sabha elections and succeeded in winning as well.

Sources inform ABP Live, Delkar's driver knocked on his hotel room at 11 am on Monday. On getting no response from the inside he informed the hotel staff and management and raised an alert. The driver also informed the family of the MP who tried calling him in order to reach him. 

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.
