Alarm

Mahesh's maid raised alarm about the incident

Reportedly, Mahesh's death came to light when his maid raised an alarm after he didn't respond to calls and door knocks.

"That sounded fishy and we sensed something might be wrong inside the flat. She had seen him alive before leaving, so we assume that he died between the hours that she left him until his body was found," a police official told Spotboye.
