A BJP worker in the Dhupguri block of Jalpaiguri district was found dead at his home on Wednesday.
While the BJP has demanded a complete investigation, police suspect Sanjay Kumar Roy, 42, died by suicide.
He was found hanging at his home in the Niranjanpat-Garkhuta area in the morning. A police team arrived and seized the body.
Sujay Tunga, the inspector-in-charge of Dhupguri police station, and Vikramjit Lama, the deputy superintendent of police (crime) of Jalpaiguri, went to the village and spoke to Roy’s family members and neighbours.
“We suspect it to be a case of suicide and can confirm it only after we get post-mortem report,” said a police officer.
A BJP leader said: “The police should find out the cause of his death. If we find that any attempt has been made to hush up the truth, we will resort to protests.”
