DIBRUGARH, June 19 (PTI): A policeman allegedly died by suicide in Jorhat district on Sunday, an official said.
The sub-inspector, who was posted at the Selenghat police station, was found dead by his colleagues at his official quarters, he said.
“It appears he shot himself with his service revolver. We have started an investigation to find the cause leading to the death,” the official said.
He had joined the police station a few days ago, the official added.
The official further added that the policeman left no suicide note, so the colleagues could not throw any light on why he shot himself.
“His family has been informed and the body has been sent for post mortem,” the official added.
