The man, who was working at a gym in Sector 91 for the past five years, had liquor after returning home on Saturday night. Around 11pm, he came out of his room and pointed a countrymade pistol at his temple.

As his wife ran towards him to stop him, he pressed the trigger and died on the spot. On the wife’s statement, police have registered a case under the Arms Act against the man’s unidentified friend who had given him the pistol.

Investigating officer Bir Singh said preliminary interrogation revealed that the victim had got the pistol two days ago. He was disturbed over the fact that a criminal case had been registered against him following a scuffle in Kharar a few months ago.

After the postmortem, the body has been handed over to the family members.
