A 25-year-old woman constable allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself at the police quarters in Madhya Pradesh’s Guna on Tuesday, officials said.
The constable, identified as Nisha Sharma, was posted at the Kotwali police station in Guna, they said.
She committed suicide by hanging herself in her government quarters in the Police Lines. After being alerted, personnel of the Cantonment police station broke open the door of the room and sent her body to the district hospital for a post-mortem, an official said.
Guna Superintendent of Police (SP) Hitika Vasal said no evidence has emerged so far which suggests that Sharma was in distress.
The deceased was a resident of Ashok Nagar district and had been living in the government quarters in the Guna Police Lines.
“Sharma’s domestic help knocked on the door of her room several times in the morning, but went away after she did not get any response from inside. As the door of Nisha’s quarter did not open till noon, the worried neighbours informed the Cantonment police station," the official said.
A police team soon arrived and broke open the door. They found Sharma’s body hanging from the ceiling fan using a bedsheet, he said.
As per the preliminary probe, constable Sharma had gone to her home in Ashok Nagar on a two-day leave. She had returned to Guna for duty on Monday evening, they said, adding that further investigation into the incident was underway.
