IAS officer Anurag Tiwari was found dead outside Meera Bai VIP guest house in Hazratganj area of Lucknow . A native of Bahraich district, Tiwari was posted as food and civil supplies commissioner in Bengaluru at present. He was staying at the guest house for the last two days with a batchmate. He stayed in room number 19. LDA vice chairman and Tiwari's batchmate PN Singh had booked the room in his name and was with him night before his death. On the day of his demise, while Singh went to play badminton around 6am at a Gomtinagar stadium, Tiwari stepped out for a morning walk. He had barely covered a distance of 300 metre from his room when he collapsed on the road.
