Delhi cop shoots self dead over family strife

Unable to bear family disputes, a Delhi Police head constable allegedly committed suicide by shooting himself with his service rifle on Thursday night Shahbad Dairy police station in Rohini.

The deceased, Har Bhagwan was deployed in Shahbad Dairy for the past four years.

During the time of the incident, acting prompt, another constable present tried to save Bhagwan.

But, he too was injured as the bullet hit his shoulder after piercing Bhagwan's neck.

"Primary investigation has shown he was depressed due to personal reasons," said a senior police officer.

It is suspected that Har Bhagwan talked to someone in his family over the phone before losing his temper and rushing for his service revolver.

The vigilant cop, Rajesh, immediately rushed to save him but Bhagwan had already pressed the trigger.

The bullet wounded Rajesh after it passed the deceased neck.

Both the cops were immediately rushed to the hospital but Bhagwan was declared brought dead while Rajesh is undergoing treatment.

His condition is said to be stable.

However, the cops suspect that family dispute is the main reason behind his death.

Many of his family members and friends are also being interrogated to understand the state of Bhagwan's mind.

41-year-old Bhagwan was originally from Punjab where his parents stay. He is survived by his parents, wife, and three children who live in Rohini area.
