Bengaluru: An IAS officer, who had made a mark in administration for his uprightness, was found dead at his official flat with police suspecting it to be a case of suicide. Additional Commissioner of Commercial Taxes (Enforcement) D K Ravi had hung himself from the fan in a room, Bengaluru Police Commissioner M N Reddi told reporters.

"Prima facie, it appears to be a case of suicide," Reddi said. He said no suicide note had been found presently adding the officer had returned home around 11.15 am and the death must have occurred before evening. Unconfirmed reports say that real estate mafia is behind the death of the young officer. A special team has been formed to probe the case, he said. The 35-year-old Ravi had taken on the sand mafia as Deputy Commissioner of Kolar district. To a query, Reddi said, "Prima facie, we do not see any room for foul play."
