Bengaluru(PTI): The decomposed body of a man was found at an under-construction building here in the city, police said on Saturday.

The deceased has not been identified yet, they said.

The matter came to light on Friday after a labourer who visited the building located in an area that falls under Kothanur Police Station limits spotted the body and alerted the police, they added.

Citing preliminary investigation, a senior police officer said that there was no construction work at the building for nearly a year.

However, the body appears to be that of a vagabond who may have come there under the influence of alcohol and died eventually.

No foul play is suspected as of now, police said, adding that a case of unnatural death has been registered and further investigation is underway. The body has been shifted to the hospital for post-mortem, police said.

Responding to her request, the minister had said his doors were always open and that she could meet him at any time.

She subsequently met him at his office later the same day.
