His body was found in the MLC Flat 21, where all personnel in Mr Jaiswal's security detail stay. The BJP leader's flat is located next to it.
"His body has been sent for the post-mortem examination. Prima facie, it appears to be a case of suicide. An investigation has been started by the Sachiwalaya police station," SDPO (Sachiwalay-1) Anu Kumari said.
"It appears that Mishra shot himself dead with a service revolver. He was also in charge of the arms for Jaiswal's security team. Police have recovered a pistol from the spot where his body was found," another police officer said.
