A pall of gloom has descended on Ghodaghat Pada in Sonpur following the tragic death of an Assistant Revenue Inspector (ARI) who allegedly died by suicide at his residence.
The deceased has been identified as 32-year-old Tarunananda Sahu, who was actively serving as an ARI at Brahmani under the Tarabha block of Subarnapur district.
According to preliminary accounts shared by his family members, Sahu had stepped out for a casual walk in the town on Tuesday evening and returned home at approximately 9:00 PM. Relatives reported that he had been under noticeable mental stress in the days leading up to the incident. After having dinner with his family, he retired to his room for the night.
