Silchar:

A 43-year-old man was found dead under mysterious circumstances in the Cachar district BJP office in Assam, police said on Thursday.

The dead, identified as Sudhangshu Das, was found dead inside the VIP room of the office located in Itkhola area of Silchar town on Thursday morning.

Nantu Roy, a canteen staffer who alerted BJP district president Bimolendu Roy after Sudhangshu Das did not open the VIP room where he was sleeping, claimed that the dead had worked with him in the canteen for the last one year.

Bimolendu  Roy, however, claimed he was unaware that Sudhangshu Das was working in the canteen or had slept in the office on Wednesday night. He claimed Nantu Roy was not a staffer in the BJP office.

"Nantu Roy called me up early in the morning and told me that the VIP room could not be opened. We informed the police. They broke open the door and found the body," Bimolendu Roy told PTI.
