Delhi constable hangs self at Gzb home, family dispute suspected

Ghaziabad: A Delhi Police constable on Tuesday morning allegedly hanged himself from an iron railing in his flat in Ved Vihar colony in Loni. His body has been sent for post-mortem.
Police suspect that family dispute could be a reason behind the suicide.
According to police, the deceased, identified as Pravindra Kumar (34), belonged to Shamli. He used to live with his wife Monika (31) and two children.
Atul Sonkar, circle officer, Loni, said that Pravindra was on leave from duty on Monday and was supposed to go to work on Tuesday. Monika told police that around 4am on Tuesday, her husband got up and went to another room adjacent to the bedroom.
“At around 7.30am, Monika knocked on the door, but there was no reply. After five minutes, she once again came to wake him and knocked but when he didn’t respond. Somehow, she broke the door and found his body hanging with a dupatta,” the officer added.
Monika immediately raised an alarm, following which some neighbours came over. They then pulled down the body and informed the police.
“The body was handed over to the policeman’s family members after the post-mortem and the report is awaited. The reason behind the death will be clear after the report comes. Pravindra’s family haven’t registered any complaint with police yet,” the circle officer said.
