Mystery shrouded the death of a Deputy Manager of the Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) after he was found hanging from the ceiling of his official quarters in Sector-2 here on Sunday morning.
The deceased was identified as Jay Prabesh (31), Deputy Manager of Plate Mill Department, RSP. Sources said Prabesh’s wife, who was also staying with him at the RSP quarters, is pregnant and went to her in-laws’ house in Meerut in Uttar Pradesh three days ago. Prabesh was also supposed to go to his house on Sunday. When Prabesh did not receive phone calls, his wife called up his friends, who went to his quarters and found him hanging from the ceiling. The Sector-3 police rushed to the spot and sent the body to the Ispat General Hospital (IGH) for postmortem.
Though the reason behind his death was yet to be ascertained, it was suspected that Prabesh might have committed suicide between 8 pm and 2 am.
