Rohtak: A 45-year-old Haryana Police ASI, Jasbir Singh, allegedly died by suicide after shooting himself with his service revolver at his govt residence in Sonipat on Saturday night.Singh, a resident of Sitawali village, was posted in the Sonipat traffic wing for the last two years. He returned to his quarters around midnight after completing his shift. While his wife was in the kitchen preparing a meal, she heard a gunshot from his room. Upon rushing inside, she found him with a bullet wound to the temple. In a desperate attempt to save him, she tied a chunni around his head to stem the bleeding, but Singh succumbed to his injuries on the spot. Police teams reached the spot and recovered the service revolver. No suicide note was found at the site. Officials said the investigation is ongoing, with a focus on analysing Singh’s call records and recording his wife’s formal statement to determine a motive. The deceased is survived by his wife, a daughter who was married last year, and a son, Atul, who is currently studying abroad. Singh’s body has been placed in the mortuary of the local civil hospital. The postmortem and last rites will be conducted once his son returns to India.
