Buxar District Magistrate Mukesh Kumar Pandey allegedly committed suicide at Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday.
Pandey’s body was found yesterday from the railway tracks about one km from Ghaziabad railway station, the police said. A purported suicide note was also recovered from the spot.
In the suicide note, Pandey, a 2012-batch IAS officer, had written that he was fed up with his life and had lost his “belief on human existence,” the police said.
