A 38-year-old Delhi Police Head Constable allegedly committed suicide by shooting himself at his residence in North-east Delhi’s New Usmanpur area late on Saturday night. According to police, the deceased has been identified as Gyanendra Rathi.
A senior police official said no suicide note has been recovered from the possession of the deceased Head Constable.
