District Magistrate Shailendra Kumar Singh, who visited the deceased's family along with other senior officers, said, "Pankaj Kumar was a 2017-batch revenue officer posted in Mitauli tehsil."
"The reason behind his extreme step has not been ascertained as no suicide note was recovered," the district magistrate said, adding that Kumar's family could also not think of a reason which would have prompted him to commit suicide.
"Call details of Kumar's phone are being examined and an investigation has been launched considering all angles," Singh said. (PTI)
