“We are investigating the matter and would be able to say anything only after the post-mortem results come,” said commissioner of police Alok Mittal.

The body of 24-year-old Geetanjali bore two bullet injuries, said deputy commissioner of police (west) Surender Pal. The two gunshot wounds — one to the chin and the other to the chest — are believed to have been caused by a .32-bore pistol, which was also recovered from the spot.

Police sources said prima facie it looked to be a case of suicide as the pistol, manufactured at the ordnance factory in Kanpur, belongs to her husband Ravnit Garg.

Reportedly, Geetanjali had left their house in Friends Colony — a residential complex of state police officials — at around four in the evening for her usual evening walk. Later, her dead body was spotted by some children playing in the park, cops said.
