A 28-year-old man allegedly hanged himself from the ceiling fan inside a hotel in south Delhi's CR Park moments after searching how to tie a 'hangman's knot' on the internet, police said on Tuesday.

Victim Rahul Haldar, a resident of Devli Road in Khanpur, also wrote his father's mobile number on a wall of the hotel room, they said.

Police received a call regarding the incident on Tuesday around 1 pm, they said.
