Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Thane City District Youth Wing President Deepak Korde died in a hospital here today, the police said late tonight.
Last night, Korde (30) had to be rushed to the Jupiter Hospital after he consumed pesticide.
Late tonight, he died in the hospital, the police said, adding that the motive for his action is still not known.
However, one source said that he had mistakenly consumed pesticide, instead of antacid.
Korde, who was appointed NCP's youth wing chief only a couple of months ago, was an active member of the party.
A case of accidental death has been registered and further investigations are on, the police said.
