Primary investigation by police indicated that Dubey had hanged himself and there were no injury marks on his body. However, the exact cause of death will be clear only after detailed investigation is completed and the post mortem report comes. The death has caused tension in the area. Trinamool Congress leaders denied any role in the death, indicating that there was tension in the BJP worker’s family.
