assam news ; personal driver of Assam Oil Division Executive Director Debjit Gogoi was found hanging in his quarters in Digboi on Wednesday afternoon.
The deceased has been identified as M Umapathy, who lived in Servant Line of AOD residential area, close to the AOD, the official residence of the ED.
According to the police, Umapati’s son returned from school and found the door of his father’s room locked from inside.

Family members said Umapathy had been working as a driver for the AOD ED for a long time and was recently removed from the job.
He said that this must have had an emotional impact on him, as he was already burdened with the burden of running the family expenses.
He also said that the AOD officials had asked him to vacate the quarter in which he was staying.
An AOD official in corporate communication said Umapati’s employment was terminated following complaints from his quarters and neighbors living close to the ED bungalow.

The officer said Umapati used to create disturbance and disturb the peace of the residential area.
Several top officials of the AOD management tried to avoid media reports, but confirmed that the executive director was in Delhi on an official program at the time of the incident.
The exact reasons or circumstances that forced Umapati to take this step are not yet known.
After post-mortem late on Wednesday evening, his body was handed over to his family for last rites.
