Overview
- The body of 30-year-old Assistant Operations Manager Abhishek Singh Kushwaha was discovered in his office chamber on Sunday night after colleagues and family could not reach him.
- A railway publicity employee found him unresponsive in the DRM chamber and he was taken to the railway hospital where doctors declared him dead; police were notified and the body was sent for post-mortem.
- Forensic teams collected evidence at the scene, with reports noting foam at the mouth and pills nearby, but authorities have not yet released an official cause of death.
- Kushwaha’s wife and mother have accused a senior officer of ongoing mental harassment following his transfer from Prayagraj, and railway staff held protests outside the DRM office demanding action.
- The probe remains active and the next steps to watch are the post-mortem findings, forensic reports, and any internal disciplinary inquiry into the harassment claims that could shape accountability and workplace reforms.
