A retired Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) commandant allegedly committed suicide in South Delhi’s Vasant Vihar area on Saturday morning. Brij Bhushan Sharma (78) shot himself in the temple with his licenced revolver in the bathroom of his residence. He lived in an apartment in Munirka area along with his differently-abled son.
The incident took place around 10.30 am when his son heard the sound of a gunshot. “The body was found in the bathroom in a pool of blood and the revolver was also recovered from the spot,” said a police official. Although it was not immediately clear the reason behind his extreme move, neighbours indicated he was worried about his differently-abled son and a niggling property dispute.
