Bengaluru, Jan 18: A newly recruited sub-inspector (SI) with the Delhi police hailing from Karnataka committed suicide due to depression on Tuesday, January 17.
Thippeswamy (29) from Kenchaginal village, Chennagiri taluk in Davanagere district is the person deceased.
The dead body was found on a railway track in Srinivaspuri in south-east Delhi on Tuesday morning, as per police.
Thippeswamy was an engineering graduate with an MBA degree. He was recruited as an SI three months ago and was undergoing training in Delhi.
Police sources claimed that Thippeswamy committed suicide by jumping before a train between Monday night and early Tuesday morning. A suicide note was found in his pocket. He had taken permission from the Police Training Institute to visit a dentist on Monday evening.
“I am taking my own life as I have been suffering from depression for a very long time. Please forgive me for the pain I am giving you people by this act," read the suicide note.
However, the SI's family has charged that he was bullied by senior officers since he did not understand the language here. “The charges are baseless. His suicide note gives a clear picture,” said Joint Commissioner of Police Dependra Pathak.
