A tragic incident unfolded at BHEL as a senior official, M Shanmugam, was found dead in his office, having apparently shot himself, according to police reports.

On Tuesday, when Shanmugam, a general manager, did not return home, his wife contacted BHEL officials out of concern. Subsequent attempts to reach him were unsuccessful, leading to police intervention.

Upon entering his locked office, police discovered Shanmugam with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Authorities confirmed the appearance of suicide but await further investigation to determine the status of the firearm and other details.
