A Haryana Police Inspector here died of a gunshot wound to his chest after his service revolver went off inside the Sadar Police Station premises on Saturday. The police said that all angles were being probed.
Staff rush to room
Kuldeep Kishor (45), posted as Additional Station House Officer, was found lying in a pool of blood around 1 p.m. after the police staff rushed to his room upon hearing a gunshot.
He was rushed to Medanta Hospital, but succumbed to the injury before reaching the hospital, said the police.
All angles probed
Gurugram Police Commissioner Sandeep Khirwar said that all angles were being looked into. “Inspector Kuldeep's death cannot as of now be categorised as suicidal. This will need a proper investigation before a conclusive finding is arrived at. For now, we are not ruling out anything. Ballistic reports, forensic reports and other statements will need to be obtained and scrutinised,” said Mr. Khirwar.
No sign of depression
Survived by his wife and two sons, Mr. Kishor was posted at the police station around six months ago.
“The Station House Officer was on leave and Mr. Kishor was acting as in-charge of the police station in his absence. He had been meeting visitors a few minutes before the incident and did not show any signs of depression. He retired to his room and a few minutes later the staff heard the gunshot,” said a senior police officer. Mr. Kishor hailed from Narnaul in Mahendergarh.
