A 29-year-old man in Gurugram reportedly died due to an overdose of a sex-enhancing drug, with police recovering wrappers of some medicines and health supplements from the room, police said on Friday.
The deceased, identified as Rohit Lal, was living in a rented PG flat in Sector 53 area of Gurugram, Haryana. Police said he was a native of Nagpur and worked at the Quality Council of India in New Delhi, news agency PTI reported.
According to the report, the incident came to light on Thursday morning when Lal's co-worker informed the police.

After receiving information, police arrived at the scene and broke down the door, where they found the young man lying dead on the bed.
Wrappers of some medicines and health supplements were also recovered from the room, police were quoted by PTI as saying.
