DRDO officer found dead in Jharkhand's Ramgarh

A Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) officer was found hanging from a tree in Jharkhand's Ramgarh district on Wednesday, a senior police officer said.

The deceased has been identified as Kamal Kishore Mahto (30), a resident of Talatand village in Patratu police station area. He was a Grade-1 officer and was posted in Bengaluru, he said, adding he had come home on a holiday.

''Prima facie, it seems he died by suicide. The exact cause is yet to be ascertained. A detailed investigation into the matter is underway,'' Ramgarh Superintendent of Police (SP) Mukesh Kumar Lunayat told PTI.

The victim's body was sent to a government hospital for a post-mortem examination, he said, adding that police are waiting for the autopsy report to establish the cause of death.
