Indian police officer commits suicide in Patiala
Patiala: An Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) deputy commandant was found hanging at the unit mess in Patiala, southeastern Punjab.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the deceased officer was recently posted in Patiala. On Saturday, his family alerted colleagues that he wasn’t answering phone calls.
A mess commander went to check on him and found the room locked from inside. When repeated knocks went unanswered, ITBP men broke open a window and saw him hanging. They took the 47-year-old to hospital where he was declared dead.
Police found a suicide note accusing a Bihar Police SHO of misconduct and harassment. The suicide is under investigation and further action will be taken as per directives of senior officers, police said.
