Ahmedabad, Apr 19 (PTI) A Central Reserve Police Force sub-inspector shot himself dead using his service weapon, an AK-47 rifle, on Wednesday at the CRPF campus near Chiloda village in Gandhinagar district of Gujarat, police said.
The deceased sub-inspector, Kishanbhai Rathod, 59, was serving as a guard at the campus. He shot himself near his jaw at his barrack in the afternoon, said police sub-inspector AS Asari.
Rathod, a native of Daskroi taluka in Ahmedabad, would have retired from service after one year.
