Authorities discovered the body of an Indian Embassy officer in the premises of the embassy in America. They found the deceased officer on Wednesday, but the news emerged on Friday.
Local law enforcement and police are currently investigating the incident. According to the news agency PTI, investigators are looking into whether the embassy official’s death resulted from suicide or another cause. However, they have not yet confirmed the cause of death.
The Indian Embassy released a statement expressing sadness over the loss: “A member of the Indian Embassy passed away on the evening of September 18.
