Bhubaneswar: A sub-inspector (SI) of 19 Battalion Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) allegedly shot himself dead with his own service rifle in Odisha’s Nuapada district after reportedly being denied leave.
The deceased has been identified as D Gunasekharan (58), a resident of Gudipalli village in Vellore district of Tamil Nadu. He was deployed at the CRPF camp in Khadupani under Boden police limits in Nuapada district.
“Gunasekharan had recently applied for leave to attend the ring ceremony of his daughter scheduled to be held on October 30. However, his leave application was not approved for some unknown reasons. He was mentally upset over it and fired the bullet at his throat from his service AK-47 rifle on Sunday morning,” a senior police official was quoted as saying by IANS.
A source said he might have shot himself by placing the rifle below his chin due to which the bullet came out of the body after rupturing the skull.
Police soon reached the spot and started an investigation. His body was sent to his native place by CRPF after postmortem.
