Hyderabad: A 41-year-old head constable allegedly died by suicide after shooting himself with his service weapon at the Telangana Police Headquarters at Lakdikapul on Thursday, July 23, police said.
According to a report in the Times of India, V Swamy was a native of Chityal, Nalgonda district and was a head constable with the VIII Battalion of Telangana Special Police (TGSP) in Kondapur.
He posted at the DGP office on guard duty along with a team of TGSP. At around 5:30 am, Swamy fired a single round with his service pistol in the guard’s washroom and died on the spot.
Another constable who went to the washroom found him dead.
A “suicide” note was found in a diary in which he purportedly requested not to blame his wife and children, saying “they are good people” and that he would look after them even after his death.
While the exact reason for the suicide is under investigation, financial stress is being suspected as a trigger since Swamy had taken loans to build a house and buy a plot of land, TOI reported.
A case was registered by Saifabad Police. Further investigation is underway.
