About 5 km away from the chief minister’s office, a man died due to the severe cold on Friday night.
The 38-year-old man, Vikram Solanki, an autorickshaw driver, was found dead near Charedi village in Gandhinagar on Saturday morning. A passerby saw the body lying on the side of the road near a slum in Charedi village and called the police.
Solanki is survived by his wife and two children. He left home on Friday evening and did not return till early on Saturday morning. After his body was found from Charedi, police informed his family.
Prima facie, the inquiry suggests that the arteries of his heart were constricted which happens due to exposure to extreme cold, said an officer.
Gujarat has been witnessing unusually cold weather for the past week.
