Following the mysterious death of a Chief Engineer from HPPCL, his family and colleagues protested, alleging foul play. They demand a CBI probe and suspension of officials who allegedly harassed him. Authorities have registered a case and a high-ranking officer will lead the investigation.

In the wake of the discovery of the Chief Engineer of the Himachal Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (HPPCL) in a dam, unrest has enveloped the community. His family, friends, and colleagues have raised suspicions of foul play, staging a protest outside the corporation's office.

The aggrieved group is demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the case, pressing for the suspension of senior officers accused of coercing the engineer to engage in alleged misconduct.
