The killer constable of UT police, who killed his wife and also shot himself with a service revolver at GMSH-16, was formally arrested by the Chandigarh Police on Tuesday, after he was discharged from the hospital where he was admitted for treatment.
The accused, Anand Kumar, underwent a surgery in the Government Multi Specialty Hospital (GMSH) and a part of bullet was removed from his body. After being discharged from the hospital, he was arrested by the police, said Ashish Kapoor, DSP, UT police.
Anand was taken to the police station from the back doors of hospital, as the family of the deceased was protesting outside the hospital and demanding strict action against the accused.
The police are trying to investigate reason behind the step of Anand Kumar. He will be produced in the district court on Wednesday.
On July 25, Anand Kumar, a constable posted in security of a Punjab and Haryana High Court Judge, shot dead his wife, Dimple Devi, after an argument. After killing his wife, he also shot himself with his service revolver outside the new OPD of GMSH.
SSP has already marked an inquiry to the DSP of the crime branch on the allegations of Dimple’s family that repeated complaints against Anand went unheard by the concerned police officials.
