A senior officer of the Regional Transport Authority (RTA), Ravinder Singh Gill (55) was reportedly found dead at his residence in Jalandhar Heights.

His body was found in the washroom of his flat after a likely cardiac arrest.

Driver Pargat Singh told the police that he broke open the door and found him lying dead.

The Sadar police reached the spot and started investigations. They sealed the flat and did not allow any outsider to go in. His last rites were performed at his native place in Bathinda today.

Gill remained as Motor Vehicle Inspector in Bathinda. He got promoted and joined the Transport Department head office in Chandigarh. He recently got the additional charge for Jalandhar.
