A librarian in Amritsar was found dead under suspicious circumstances, and the family has accused a local official of mental harassment.
Amritsar police are investigating the death of a librarian whose body was discovered under unclear circumstances on Tuesday. The deceased, who worked at a municipal library, was found at his residence with signs that have prompted questions about foul play.
Family members of the librarian have publicly alleged that a government official had been subjecting them to sustained mental harassment in the weeks preceding the death. They claim the pressure and intimidation contributed to a hostile environment, though no direct link to the fatal incident has been established.
Authorities have registered a case of suspicious death and are conducting forensic examinations while also looking into the harassment complaint. The official named by the family has not been identified in official statements, and the investigation remains ongoing.
Local residents expressed concern over the incident, calling for a transparent probe to determine whether the death was accidental, self-inflicted, or the result of external interference.
The police have assured the public that all leads will be pursued, and a final report will be submitted to the district magistrate once the inquiry is complete.
