Overview
- A constable identified as Swamy reportedly shot himself inside a washroom at the Telangana DGP’s Lakdi-Ka-Pul office in the early hours of Thursday, and police found him with his service firearm.
- A handwritten note attributed to Swamy was recovered at the scene in which he asked that no one blame his wife and children and said he would continue to look after them after his death.
- Saifabad police registered a case, shifted the body to Osmania General Hospital for a postmortem, and have opened an investigation to establish the circumstances leading to the incident.
