A Punjab Police sub-inspector, who was undergoing treatment for depression, shot himself with his service revolver here on Monday.
The cop, identified as Sukhdev Singh, was posted in police lines. Sukhdev’s body and his service revolver were found in his car on the Patiala-Nabha road near Korjiwala village. The cop is survived by his wife and a son.
The body was handed over to the family after the autopsy at the Rajindra hospital.
Patiala senior superintendent of police Gurmeet Singh Chauhan said Sukhdev had been transferred here from Amritsar two months ago. “He was undergoing treatment for depression since 2011,” the SSP added.
