"The matter is being looked into", says the Superintendent of Police
A tragic incident unfolded outside the residence of the Superintendent of Police, as a man resorted to consuming poison on Saturday, reportedly due to the alleged negligence of the police in addressing his grievances. The man, identified as Pradeep, took this drastic step after purportedly facing obstacles in filing a harassment case against his wife, according to sources within the police department.
Family members of Pradeep divulged that his wife had recently lodged a complaint of domestic violence against him, yet his plea regarding harassment by his spouse had not received due attention from law enforcement. The discord between Pradeep and his wife identified as Isha, seemed to revolve around financial matters, with Isha allegedly demanding a substantial sum of ₹5 lakh from her husband.
