A CRPF officer, who had suspectedly suffered a heart attack, was found dead in Jharkhand's Palamu district on Friday, police said.
Superintendent of Police Chandan Kumar Sinha said that Central Reserve Police Force Sub-inspector Bhupendra Singh Yadav, who suffered from low blood pressure, was found dead in Dagra picket under Nawabazar police station.
Yadav, who hailed from Rajasthan, was in the 134th battalion of the CRPF and was deployed for anti-Naxal operations, the SP said.
