An Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) in Darbhanga, Bihar, accidentally shot himself on November 5, 2026, but tried to claim it was an attack by criminals.
The truth came out after a police investigation found he had actually used an illegal pistol he was not supposed to have.
Weapon recovered, 3 officers suspended
After the incident, the ASI hid the illegal weapon at the police station, but it was recovered during the probe. He is now suspended and facing charges under the Arms Act.
Two other constables were also suspended for helping cover up what really happened, and more team members are under investigation as authorities dig deeper into the case.
