Panchkula, July 10 -- The body of a 23-year-old man from Rajiv Colony was discovered on Wednesday around 3 pm near a drain on the dividing road of Sector-17/18. A junk collector saw the body and alerted a local leader from Indira Colony, who informed the police.

The deceased was a Rajiv Colony resident. Officers noted syringe marks on his hands, and a small empty vial was found nearby.

Police suspect he may have injected drugs, leading to semi-consciousness and a fall near the drain. His body was discovered lying face down, with blood flowing from his nose and head, suggesting a possible head injury. The body's stiffness led officials to believe he died either in the early morning hours or late Tuesday night.
