NEW DELHI: A Japanese tourist was found dead under mysterious circumstances inside a guest house in the northern Indian tourist city Varanasi Thursday evening, reported the Indo-Asian News Service on Friday.
Adachi Tatsua, 45, was found dead in the Sankata guest house in Varanasi's popular Chowk area, with his body lying in a corner of the floor, said the report quoting police sources.
Police did not rule out foul play and were questioning the staff of the guest house while waiting for a post-mortem report, said the report.
Varanasi is a tourist attraction because there are many ancient Hindu temples and the Ganges ghats (docks).
