“It seems he has died of cardiac respiratory failure. We suspect he was also suffering from chronic kidney disease,” said Tapash Kumar Das, the hospital superintendent.
Hirakjyoti was a doctor and was posted at a primary health centre in Kuchlibari, which is in the same subdivision. He was also a general secretary of Trinamul’s youth wing in the district and was associated with a number of social organisations.
