Rourkela, A member of the Indian Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) was tragically found deceased in the Rourkela Steel Plant in Odisha, India. The incident has prompted an investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the death.

According to Kashmir Media Service, the deceased CISF personnel, identified as 31-year-old Sahil Kumar, was discovered hanging from a tree within the force’s barracks located in the Sundargarh district.
