A 39-year-old auto rickshaw driver was found dead with bleeding injuries in the bathroom of his house, which was locked from outside.

The man, Franklin, was staying alone, after his wife had quarrelled and had gone to her mother’s house. Their teenaged son, who went to give Franklin food last night, noticed that the house was locked.

The son became suspicious when he saw the house locked the next morning too when he went to give breakfast to his father. He immediately informed his mother, who along with relatives, rushed to the house. The police were also informed.

On opening the house, the cops found Franklin dead in the bathroom, with cut injuries on his hand and leg. The police are investigating if it was a murder or a suicide.
