Trainee CRPF officer commits suicide in Gurgaon academy

A 31-year-old assistant commandant-rank trainee officer of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself from the ceiling fan in his hostel room at the paramilitary force’s training centre in Gurgaon, police said on Wednesday.

Identified as Mohaib M Mullah, hailing from Belgaum in Karnataka, Mohaib was on a year-long training programme in the CRPF Kadarpur camp, some 12 km away from Gurgaon city. He was found hanging from the ceiling fan of the hostel room at 4 am.

Sources from the CRPF camp told the police that Mullah had joined the force as assistant commandant through direct entry in September 2015. He was part of the 47th AC Course. The deceased left a three-page suicide note which reads: “I know that suicide is prohibited in Islam, but I’m sorry for taking such an extreme step. No one was responsible for his death.” The note further reads: “All my friends are good, my training officers are also good, I am killing myself,” police officer Suresh Kumar said.

Monusul, who was not married, also apologised to his family writing: “I don’t want to die, but I am dying. I know I may go to hell but I am going.”

Police said that the exact cause is yet to be ascertained. “The body was found in the morning. We have recovered a suicide note which says that according to Islam those who kill themselves don’t go to heaven. We are investigating it,” said assistant sub-inspector Dharmendra, the Investigation Officer at the Badshahpur police station. His body was handed over to his family members after autopsy. Monusul’s colleagues told police that he appeared normal before killing himself.
