The incident took place at Gupta’s residence on JP Road in Versova. The police have filed an accidental death report (ADR) and are examining the circumstances surrounding his death.
According to the police, as cited by some media outlets, CCTV footage from inside the house provides a sequence of what happened. At around 2 am, Gupta was sitting in the drawing room before walking towards the kitchen. He then appeared to have lost his balance and struck his head against the corner of a wall separating the kitchen and drawing room.
Gupta fell to the floor following the impact. A dog can also be seen near him in the CCTV footage, police said.
His family members were in separate bedrooms and were asleep at the time. As a result, they did not realise that Gupta had fallen. It was only in the morning that his wife, son and daughter found him lying on the floor.
