Gujarat Sub-inspector Anupam Singh Gehlot Shoots Self with Service Revolver in Vadodara
A sub-inspector Sunday allegedly committed suicide by shooting himself with his service revolver at a police post, a senior official said.
Vadodara, Sep 16: A sub-inspector Sunday allegedly committed suicide by shooting himself with his service revolver at a police post, a senior official said.
Sanjay Jadeja (37) had been shifted to the Crime Branch's anti-chain snatching squad just two days earlier, Vadodara police commissioner Anupam Singh Gehlot said.
Gehlot said that a diary had been recovered from the spot where Jadeja shot himself in which the deceased had purportedly written that he was unable to do the work of a sub-inspector.
Gehlot, however, added that it was unlikely that Jadeja killed himself because of work pressure. Praising the deceased as a very good officer, Gehlot said that Jadeja's death had saddened the entire force. "He was the leader of the anti-chain snatching squad and was doing very good work. We are investigating what caused him to take this step," Gehlot said.
