According to West Zone DCP Joel Davis, the incident came to light in the afternoon when Dr Mazharuddin failed to respond to phone calls from hospital or other contacts.
With no response on repeated calls and anxious some of his associates alerted maids at the house who checked the room and found him lying in a pool of blood. They rushed him to Apollo Hospital where doctors declared him dead.
"It appears to be a case of suicide. He had a weapon (.32 pistol) with him. The weapon is seized. Further investigation is on," said Davis.
