Senior BJP leader and former opposition leader Narayan Chandela's brother, Shekhar Chandela, has reportedly committed suicide under unknown circumstances. He took his own life by stepping in front of a train near the Janjgir railway station. Police have not yet found a suicide note at the scene, leaving the reasons for his actions unclear.

After the incident, senior officers from the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Government Railway Police (GRP) arrived at the site. The news of the suicide reached local residents late at night, prompting a large crowd to gather at the scene. The police have sent the body for post-mortem to the district hospital after removing it from the tracks. They are also questioning family members to investigate the reasons behind his tragic decision.

This incident has created a significant stir in Chhattisgarh's Janjgir-Champa district. Shekhar Chandela, a member of the state BJP working committee and commissioner of the district scout guide, was found dead on the railway tracks near Naila station. His body was discovered late at night, causing a sensation in the area.

Narayan Chandela is a prominent BJP leader, having served as a legislator from the Janjgir constituency and as the Vice President of the Assembly. He was also the leader of the opposition during the Congress-led government. 

Shekhar Chandela, who resided in Shri Ram Colony near Banari, leaves behind two children—a son and a daughter. He operated a petrol pump and a rice mill business in Banari. Notably, he had celebrated his birthday just a few weeks ago on September 2. Reports suggest he was at his rice mill until late in the evening before heading to Naila station, where some witnesses claim he jumped in front of the train.

The police have dispatched the body to the mortuary, but the cause of death remains undisclosed. Investigations will clarify whether this incident was a suicide or something more sinister. Currently, the police have registered a case and are conducting further inquiries.
