A booth-level officer deployed for the Special Intensive Revision exercise in Rajasthan’s Kotputli-Behror district died after collapsing on his way home, officials said on Thursday. Police stated that the cause of his death will be confirmed only after the post-mortem report is received.
The officer, identified as Vijay Gurjar, aged 42, was working as a BLO at the Government Sardar Senior Secondary School in Kotputli. He reportedly fell on the road while returning home on Wednesday evening and sustained injuries. His family took him to the government BDM District Hospital, where doctors declared him dead.
Following the incident, Sub-Divisional Magistrate Ramavatar Meena, Tehsildar Ramdhan Gurjar and senior police officials reached the hospital. The police conducted a post-mortem examination through a medical board and later handed over the body to the family. A case has been registered at Kotputli police station.
Kotputli Deputy Superintendent of Police Rajendra Kumar said the reason behind Gurjar’s collapse remains unclear and will be known only after the medical report. SDM Meena stated that Gurjar had already completed his Special Intensive Revision duties on December 4 and was under no pressure, adding that the administration had been regularly counselling and assisting BLOs throughout the process.
Family members said Gurjar did not return home until late Wednesday night, prompting them to search for him. He was found unconscious near his home in Karwas village.
