BANGALORE: A 30-year-old interior decorator was found dead under mysterious circumstances in his Rajarajeswari Nagar house on Wednesday.

The decomposed body of Chandrashekar Rao, who hailed from Tumkur and occupant of a rented house in Kenchanahalli, was found on a mat in the main hall. Police officers said that the post mortem would indicate how he died.

Chandrashekar had been living in this house for seven months. He was a diploma holder in civil engineering and was an interior decorator with a private firm for the past two years. Chandrashekar was a bachelor and police are yet to ascertain details about his family.

His landlord Krishna Reddy found the body. In the statement to the police, Reddy said he hadn't seen Chandrashekar since Sunday. He initially thought his tenant had gone to his home town but on Wednesday, he noticed a foul smell in the house. On peeping through the window, Reddy saw the decomposed body.

On being alerted by the landlord, police broke open the door and shifted the body to the morgue.

The electric heater in the toilet in a plastic bucket was on and the bucket had melted. The landlord told police two boys had been living with Chandrashekar for a couple of months but they had moved out a month ago. Reddy didn't know much about the duo.

An investigation officer said: "When we went call details of the victim's mobile phone, we found he had last made a call on Sunday morning and there were some missed calls on his phone after which he had switched it off."
