库苏古尔省
After his expulsion from the Politburo, Tömör-Ochir wished to translate Karl Marx's book "Das Kapital" into Mongolian. His request was refused and he was sent to Bayankhongor Province to lead a construction office. After the office performed poorly, Tömör-Ochir was expelled from the MPRP and later fired from his job. He then returned to the capital city of Ulan Bator where he was jailed briefly only to be sent into internal exile to Khövsgöl Province shortly after. He was allowed to return to Ulan Bator for medical reasons and was later sent to the city of Darkhan in 1968. In Darkhan he worked in a local museum called Friendship while his wife, Ninjbadgar, worked at the polytechnic institute. In 1984, Tsedenbal stepped down as party leader and one year later Ninjbadgar saw a possibility to request an appeal for reconsideration of the case of Tömör-Ochir in Ulan Bator. While she was away, Tömör-Ochir was killed with an axe in his apartment in Darkhan on 2 October 1985. The killer(s) were never caught, and the motive has yet to be revealed. Tömör-Ochir's family blames the KGB.
