Ashish Banerjee, a former minister in the Trinamool Congress, was discovered deceased in his office at the party’s Kolkata headquarters early this week. He was 58 and had been living at the campus for several months.
Police arrived on the scene and have since sealed the building, launching an inquiry into the cause of death. No signs of violence or robbery were reported, and the investigation is proceeding under routine protocols.
The TMC leadership expressed shock and urged calm, stating that they were working closely with law enforcement to uncover the facts. No official statement on the cause of death has yet been released.
The incident has drawn attention from political analysts who are monitoring the situation closely as the investigation unfolds.
