Overview

• Police said 32-year-old Jitendra Singh died by suicide at his ancestral home in Talsari, Pauri, after recording a video naming BJYM state secretary Himanshu Chamoli.
• The video alleges large financial fraud, with reports citing either Rs 35 lakh for land approval or nearly Rs 57 lakh tied to a proposed media office.
• Pauri police arrested Chamoli, secured the video as evidence, and began inquest and forensic procedures, with a post-mortem pending.
• SSP Lokeshwar Singh said those named in the recording have been taken into custody for questioning and that final findings depend on the forensic and post-mortem reports.
• The Chief Minister’s Office denied that Chamoli served as an OSD, and the BJP’s media in-charge said the party has expelled him from all posts.
