Woman Constable Found Hanging in Guna Police Quarters

Overview

• Constable Nisha Sharma, who police say was posted at Kotwali station, was found hanging in her government quarter on June 9 and was declared dead at the scene.
• Her body was discovered after domestic help and neighbours raised the alarm and Cantonment police forced open a locked door to find a bedsheet used as a noose from a ceiling fan.
• Police say Sharma had returned from a two-day leave the evening before and that early inquiries have not produced a confirmed suicide note or clear motive.
• A separate case in Gwalior saw constable Ankit Tomar found dead and a panel post-mortem and forensic teams have been deployed there as that investigation continues.
• Officials have sent both cases for full forensic and medical review, and the string of recent police deaths in Madhya Pradesh is increasing calls for internal probes and attention to personnel welfare.
