Head constable found dead at Police Lines quarters in Jabalpur
Police have registered a case and started an investigation after the 56-year-old officer was discovered at his residence.
A 56-year-old head constable, Suresh Chaudhary, was found dead at his residential quarters in the Police Lines area of Jabalpur district in Madhya Pradesh, according to ANI.
Chaudhary, who was posted at the Ranjhi police station, was discovered at his residence under the Civil Lines police station limits around midnight on the intervening night of November 10 and 11.
City Superintendent of Police (CSP) Sonu Kurmi said a case has been registered and an investigation is underway. He stated that a family dispute or similar issues appears to be a possible angle prima facie.
Preliminary inquiries suggest the doors of the quarters had remained locked for the last two days, and neighbours noted the door had been closed during this period. Kurmi said no suicide note has been recovered from the scene so far.
The exact circumstances and the time period the body had been there will be confirmed following a post-mortem examination. Kurmi added that further action will be taken based on the facts that emerge.
