Yashwant Singh Thakur was found hanging from a ceiling fan in his house in civil lines by a girl when she went there to deliver his tiffin-box, said additional superintendent of police D R Teniwar.
The girl informed the landlord, who contacted the police. Thakur lived alone in the rented house.
No suicide note was found, but his family members said that he was under stress for the last few days.
