A First Information Report has been lodged, classifying the 2023 death of a Directorate General of Foreign Trade officer as murder, officials said.
The police have formally registered a First Information Report (FIR) that labels the 2023 death of a Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) officer as a murder case. The filing indicates that investigators have gathered sufficient preliminary evidence to move the case beyond a natural‑death inquiry.
Law enforcement agencies have not disclosed the exact location where the officer was found dead, but they confirmed that the FIR was lodged after a re‑examination of the forensic and circumstantial findings. The investigation is now being treated as a criminal probe, with senior officials from the DGFT and local police coordinating the effort.
Authorities have urged the public to cooperate with the investigation and have assured that any persons found responsible will face the full force of the law. The case remains under active investigation, and further details will be released as they become available.
The filing marks a significant shift in the official narrative surrounding the officer's demise, moving from earlier speculation of natural causes to a homicide inquiry.
