Asish Banerjee, a former Deputy Speaker of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly, was discovered dead at a Trinamool Congress party office located adjacent to his residence in the Birbhum district. Local authorities have recovered a suicide note at the scene, which reportedly contains a statement from Banerjee claiming that his entry into politics was a mistake.

While the discovery of the note has been confirmed by reporting, the circumstances surrounding his death and the specific timeline of events leading up to the discovery remain under investigation. The incident has drawn attention due to Banerjee’s political background and the location where his body was found. As of now, official statements from party leadership or law enforcement regarding the broader context of his mental state or political pressures are limited. The investigation is ongoing to determine the full sequence of events and to verify the contents of the note.
