Marital discord drove a Delhi Police Head Constable (HC) to end his life. HC Pawan Kumar who was married recently reportedly committed suicide by jumping in front of a running train at the Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station on Tuesday evening.
HC Pawan Kumar was posted with the Police Control Room (PCR). His mutilated body was later retrieved by the Railway Police and was sent for post-mortem examination. His mortal remains were later handed over to his family for performing the last rites.
According to police, the incident took place around 4pm when HC Pawan Kumar was spotted walking on the tracks near platform number-1. Passengers and local people at the station did not suspect his intentions as there was a huge rush of passengers on the platform. Before anybody could really comprehend, what was he upto, he jumped. His death was instant.
Investigations by the Railway Police found that HC Pawan Kumar who was undergoing tremendous mental duress had sent text messages to his fiends and family members about his intentions. Police officials claimed that in the message he stated the reason for his extreme step was the serious dispute with his wife. “Friends and family members tried to contact him but it was too late. We are now scanning the CCTV footages to determine the exact sequence of events,” said a police official.
Pawan was married few months ago in Mathura. Family members and his wife are being questioned to know the details of marital trouble that forced Kumar to take the extreme step, said a police official.
