In a chilling incident in Madhya Pradesh’s Neemuch district, a 50-year-old Head Constable, Hoshiar Singh Ahir, committed suicide by consuming poison inside the Police Control Room. Before passing away at a private hospital, Singh left behind a suicide note that has sparked a massive controversy, alleging rampant corruption and harassment within the police force.

A resident of Haryana, Singh was stationed at the Kanawati Police Line. According to reports, he walked into the control room on Sunday and swallowed poison before his colleagues could react. His suicide note explicitly mentions that honest officers are targeted and harassed if they refuse to pay bribes. He even named certain high-ranking officials and reportedly sent a copy of the note to senior authorities before taking the extreme step.

The family of the deceased has alleged that Singh was under immense professional pressure despite his deteriorating health. His wife and daughter claimed that he was forced to perform strenuous duties. They have also raised suspicions regarding his missing mobile phone and the fact that they were allegedly kept away from the body post-mortem. A high-level probe is expected into the allegations mentioned in the suicide note.
