A young person’s body was discovered hanging from one of Eden Gardens’ galleries on Monday.
Sources said that he was identified as Dhananjay Barik, a 21-year-old who is the son of a ground worker.
A senior officer reported that one of the caregivers discovered Barik hanging from gallery-K of the stadium. The young man had gone missing on Sunday afternoon.
“The deceased may have had depression because, unlike his father and uncle, who work at Eden Gardens, he was not assigned to a ground staff position. We are investigating whether it is a case of suicide or something else. The body has been sent for post-mortem,” the officer said.
