In a tragic incident that has shaken the police community, a 32-year-old constable from the Jharkhand Armed Police (JAP) took his own life on Tuesday evening. The heartbreaking event unfolded at his official residence in the Doranda area of Ranchi.
The deceased, identified as Constable Deepak Ram, was found hanging from the ceiling fan inside his quarters. According to preliminary investigations, the young policeman had been experiencing significant marital problems that allegedly pushed him toward this extreme step.
Marital Discord Takes Tragic Turn
Police sources revealed that Deepak had been facing persistent domestic issues with his wife. The couple had been living separately for some time, and the strain of their troubled relationship reportedly weighed heavily on the constable.
"Preliminary inquiry suggests marital discord as the primary reason behind this extreme step," confirmed a senior police officer familiar with the case. "He was alone at his quarter when the incident occurred."
Immediate Response and Investigation
Upon discovery of the incident, fellow police personnel immediately rushed Constable Deepak to Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS). Despite medical efforts, doctors pronounced him dead upon arrival.
Local authorities have registered a case and initiated a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the tragedy. The police have also informed the constable's family members about the devastating news.
Growing Concerns About Police Mental Health
This incident has once again highlighted the immense psychological pressure faced by police personnel. The demanding nature of their duties, combined with personal challenges, often creates overwhelming stress that remains unaddressed.
Mental health experts emphasize the need for better support systems and counseling services within police departments to help personnel cope with both professional and personal difficulties.
The Jharkhand Police Department has expressed deep sorrow over the loss of one of their own and has promised all necessary assistance to the grieving family during this difficult time.
