The man, identified as Kishan, a resident of Kherla village, used his licensed pistol to shoot himself. He had been working as a security supervisor at KR Mangalam University after retiring from the armed forces.

Police reported that the suicide occurred inside a room at his house while his family members were present at home.

A preliminary inquiry suggests that Kishan was under mental distress due to family disputes, though the exact cause is still being examined.
After hearing the gunshot, family members rushed him to the hospital, where authorities alerted the police. A team reached the spot and shifted the body for a post-mortem, scheduled for Monday.
