Hyderabad: A 40-year-old police constable posted at the Chief Minister’s Camp Office in Punjagutta committed suicide by consuming insecticide at his house in Meerpet on Thursday night.

Santoshnagar inspector P. Satish Kumar said, “Upender worked in Santoshnagar police station for 13 days. On his request, he was posted to Punjagutta police station, where he worked for 10 days and then was absent for over 25 days. He was addicted to alcohol and was not regular”.
“On Thursday night we received a call from his family members stating that he was lying motionless. When the police went to his house in Meerpet, he was found dead.”
Meerpet sub-inspector H. Raghavender said “A note was recovered from his (Upender) home at Gayatri Nagar in Meerpet. The note reportedly was written by him mentioning that two persons had taken Rs 3 lakh from him but they were not giving the money back and harassing him by postponing the payments. Depressed about it, the constable ended his life by consuming insecticide.” The inspector said based on a complaint from his family a case of abetment to suicide was filed under section 306 of IPC.
