​New Delhi: A 30-year-old IAS officer drowned in mysterious circumstances in a swimming pool here while allegedly trying to rescue a woman colleague who had fallen into the water, police said. But his family said they suspected foul play.

Ashish Dahiya, 30, a resident of Sonepat in Haryana, drowned in the swimming pool of the Foreign Service Institute at Ber Sarai in south Delhi during a Monday night party attended by around 30 young officers, police said.

"A woman officer accidentally fell into the pool and many officers, including Dahiya, jumped into the pool to rescue her," Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Chinmoy Biswal said. "The lady officer was safely pulled out but Dahiya went missing...

He was then seen floating," he said. Dahiya was rushed to the Fortis Hospital where doctors declared him dead. Dahiya's father Narender Singh alleged foul play and demanded a probe by the CBI.
