New Delhi: In a bizarre incident, a 22-year-old man called police and told them he was going to commit suicide before hanging himself from a ceiling fan at his house here, police said on Saturday.

After receiving the Police Control Room (PCR) received the call on Friday afternoon, a police team reached at Shahzaad's house in Seelampur in east Delhi only to find him dead.

"Shahzaad might have committed suicide just after making a PCR call. We didn't take more than 15 minutes in reaching his home but he had died till then and was already discovered hanging by his family members," said a police officer.
