Even today morning, he left for office in a jovial mood and was supposed to come at home for lunch at his usual time around 2 PM.There was much work pressure and his blood pressure was also high. We want justice. We want to know the real reason for his death. There should be a proper investigation of his death.”

On Monday, Ramandeep Kaur, Superintendent of Police, Cachar said, “We are yet to ascertain the cause of his suicide. The legal formalities are being undertaken now. Pressure of duty is prevalent everywhere. But there are ways and means to deal with pressure and committing suicide is definitely not one of it. He was a quiet and hard working person with no issues at work place. If it was any workplace related pressure, he ought to have talked about it, but that was not the case. Anyhow, we will investigate into the matter.”
