A 23-year-old man was found dead outside his friend's house in Delhi's Maidan Garhi area with cops suspecting that he jumped from the terrace, police said on Wednesday.
His family alleged criminal angle in the incident, they said.
According to police, Pankaj Singh Negi, a resident of Chirag Delhi, went to meet his friend on Monday in an inebriated state and a heated argument broke out between them.
"Following an argument, Negi left her house and went to the terrace of the building," police said.
Later, he was found unconscious outside the building, police said.
"A PCR call was received on March 25 at 10 pm regarding a person lying unconscious in Rajpur Khurd extension in Maidan Garhi area," another police officer said.
A police team was immediately rushed to the spot who took Negi to hospital. Doctors declared him brought dead.
