H M Kansagra, ACP, ‘B’ Division, said, “The officer’s driver arrived to pick him up at 10 am on Thursday. When he did not answer his calls, the driver went to the fifth floor of the quarters to check on him. He said the door was open and the officer was found dead in the drawing room. The driver then informed the security staff, who in turn alerted the police.”
