Overview
- A 35-year-old constable, identified in reports as Muthe Chandrasekhar, allegedly hanged himself late on Sunday during a video call after telling the woman on the call he would end his life and the woman alerted police.
- Chaitanyapuri officers notified Malakpet police, who reached the Shalivahana Nagar home, recovered the body and shifted it to Osmania General Hospital for a post-mortem while registering a case.
- Investigators say they are probing the constable’s relationship with the woman and preliminary inquiries point to distress over issues tied to a proposed marriage, though officials say the full reasons are still under investigation.
- News reports differ on the officer’s posting, variously describing him as a writer at Amberpet police headquarters and as an Armed Reserve constable with Malkajgiri, a discrepancy police have not clarified.
- The death follows a recent pattern of police suicides in Telangana and comes after DGP C.V. Anand’s Sept. 10 appeal warning personnel about betting, debt and urging them to seek help for personal or financial problems.
