Man found dead days after suicide in Dombivli West home

A 31-year-old man from Dombivli West was found dead in his home nearly four days after he took his own life. Lokesh Suryakant Nikam lived alone and was discovered after neighbours noticed a strong foul smell coming from his house. Nikam’s parents were away when the incident occurred. His body was recovered by police, who then launched an investigation into the circumstances of his death. A post-mortem examination was carried out to determine the exact cause.

The tragedy follows another recent death linked to Nikam. His close friend, Rishikesh, had died in custody the previous night after complaining of chest pain. Relatives of Rishikesh later claimed he did not receive prompt medical attention. Nikam, who was unmarried, was found hanging inside his residence. Authorities are continuing to probe the events leading up to his death.

The investigation into Nikam’s suicide remains ongoing. Police are examining whether any external factors contributed to his decision. Meanwhile, questions persist about the medical care provided to his friend, Rishikesh, before his death in custody.
