A Booth Level Officer (BLO) deployed for Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Meerut allegedly attempted to end his life due to alleged harassment and excessive workload, officials and family members said on Wednesday (December 3, 2025).
The officer, identified as Mohit Chaudhary (35), a resident of Murlipura village under Mundali police station limits and a senior assistant in the Irrigation Department, was also handling BLO-ICD duties in the Pallavpuram area.
He was rushed to a private hospital on Garh Road late on Tuesday (December 2) night and later referred to Lokpriya Hospital in serious condition.

Family members claimed Mr. Chaudhary had been under severe stress for several days due to dual responsibilities and a heavy workload. They alleged that a tehsil-level supervisor, Ashish Sharma, had been repeatedly pressuring him over the progress of forms and threatening suspension and registration of an FIR.
