New Delhi, Apr 14 (PTI) The family of a man, who was found hanging from a ceiling fan at his residence in northeast Delhi, requested a second post-mortem examination by a medical board after raising doubts over the cause of his death, an official said on Monday.

Authorities have been alerted to carry out the post-mortem again, he said.

The man was found hanging in his house on Sunday at Pratap Nagar and the death was reported around 7.30 pm at Harsh Vihar Police Station, he said.

The crime team inspected the spot and the body was shifted to the mortuary. A post-mortem was conducted at GTB Hospital on Sunday, following which the body was handed over to the family, a senior police officer said.
