Dombivli man found dead in home four days after suspected suicide

A 31-year-old man, Lokesh Suryakant Nikam, has been found dead in his home in Dombivli West. Police suspect suicide, with initial reports suggesting he died by hanging nearly four days before his body was discovered. The incident has left neighbours and the local community unsettled. Nikam lived alone and worked at a printing press. His parents grew worried when he stopped answering phone calls for several days. Eventually, neighbours noticed a strong foul smell coming from his house and alerted the police.

Officers recovered Nikam’s body and launched an investigation. A case has been registered, and authorities are continuing their probe. The post-mortem examination is still pending.

The tragedy follows another recent loss in Nikam’s life. His close friend, Rishikesh, died in custody after complaining of chest pain and not receiving timely medical treatment. The discovery of Nikam’s body has raised concerns in the area. Police are still investigating the circumstances surrounding his death. Further details are expected once the post-mortem report is completed.
