Tripura's Director General of Police, Anurag Dhankhar, has been found dead inside his own office. The discovery, made at the state police headquarters, sent shockwaves through the force, with senior officers rushing to the spot as soon as the news broke, though none have spoken on record about what happened.
Who was Anurag Dhankhar
Dhankhar had been serving as Tripura's DGP for close to a year, having taken charge of the post last year. Before this posting, he had led the investigation team probing the Nirav Modi scam, an assignment that had made him a widely recognised name across the country.
How the body was found
According to the details available so far, Dhankhar's body was discovered inside his own office at the police headquarters. The exact circumstances of his death have not been officially confirmed, and it is being treated as a suspicious death for now. Some reports have raised the possibility of suicide, although this has not been verified.
Silence in the force, probe ordered
The death of such a senior officer inside his own office has left Tripura's police department in a state of shock. Officials connected to the matter have largely remained silent, with no public statement issued so far. An investigation is now underway under the supervision of senior officers to establish exactly what happened inside the office that day.
