In a shocking incident, a Punjab Police cop on Monday allegedly committed suicide at his home in Model Town in Patiala.
A Superintendent of Police (SP) level officer, 45-year-old Barjinder Singh Dhillon was posted as in-charge of Police Sanjh Kendra in Patiala.
Police sources said that as per preliminary investigations, Dhillon has shot at himself by using his service revolver during afternoon. No suicide note has been recovered from the spot.
The police is yet not sure whether the cop has committed suicide, and has formed a team of local CIA staff to investigate the matter further. Police are also questioning the family members about the possible reason for the alleged extreme move taken by the police officer.
IG Paramjit Gill, DIG Shiv Kumar, and Patiala SSP Hardyal Singh Mann also visited the place of crime — a Government residential accommodation provided to Dhillon.
From the preliminary inquiry, police has arrived at the conclusion that Dhillon committed suicide because of personal family problem.
