Superintendent of Police (North Goa) Nidhin Valsan said the deceased, identified as N.S. Dhillon, was from Punjab. He was involved in the hospitality sector business in the coastal state.
He said that the police were informed about Dhillion's death by Seema Singh, his manager.

"We found the dead body of deceased NS Dhillon in his room. During investigation, minor injuries were observed on the dead body. The deceased was reportedly living alone but would receive guests quite often," Valsan said.
