Kolkata : An inspector of the Kolkata Police special branch shot himself dead with his service revolver at his office Wednesday morning.
Police said the incident occurred around 9 a.m. when Ashish Mishra came to the special branch head office on Lord Sinha Road. After collecting his revolver, he pointed it to his head and fired at himself.
He was rushed to the SSKM Hospital where he was declared brought dead.
A suicide note found on him said he had been suffering from depression, as he could not repay money he had borrowed sometime ago.
“Preliminary investigation has revealed that Mishra had been depressed for sometime as he was under heavy debt. We have started an inquiry to find out more details,” Deputy Commissioner (special branch) Vineet Goel told reporters.
