A police official said the deceased was identified as Subhash Jadhav, a resident of Ambegaon in the Pune district.

Jadhav then tried to kill himself by consuming some pesticide outside the front gate of the Mantralaya.

Jadhav was rushed to state-run GT Hospital. He was declared dead on Sunday, the official said.

Prima facie, Jadhav had some criminal cases pending against him, the official added.
