The search resumed at around 7 am on Sunday and the body was located and fished out of the waters after four hours, a police officer said.

The deceased was under a heavy debt and was depressed and hence resorted to the extreme step, a police official said.

The Kalwa police have sent the body for postmortem and as of now registered a case of accidental death, he said.

Did two people jump?

Earlier, the police received information that two people, including a woman, had jumped into the creek from the Saket bridge.

The Kalwa police on Sunday confirmed that only one person jumped into the creek and his body was recovered.
