Marital problems could have driven IAS officer Mukesh Pandey to suicide in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad, members of his family in Guwahati, said. District magistrate of Buxar in Bihar, Mukesh Pandey (29), was found dead on the railway tracks in Ghaziabad on Thursday night. We don’t know how it happened,” said Vashistha Narayan Pandey, Mukesh’s uncle who arrived in Ghaziabad for the post-mortem formalities. His family friends also expressed shock and said that becoming an IAS officer was a “do or die situation” for Pandey.
