Bhupendra Narayan Singh (45), who was posted as the District Public Relations Officer (DPRO) in Aurangabad district, allegedly hanged himself from a ceiling fan at his house late last night apparently in a fit of depression, Superintendent of Police Upendra Kumar Sharma said.
The body has been sent for post-mortem and a probe is on to find out the reason behind the extreme step taken by him, the SP said.
A native of Arwal district, Singh was recently transferred to Aurangabad from Purnia, Sharma said.
