Telangana cop dies by suicide days after IPS officer's death
Satyanarayana, a 54-year-old Assistant Sub-Inspector in Telangana's Suryapet district, died by suicide at his home on Saturday.
Early findings point to chronic health issues as a possible reason for his decision.
His death comes just after the suicide of senior IPS officer Y Puran Kumar in Haryana, who had left behind serious allegations about workplace harassment and discrimination.
Case registered, probe underway
Authorities have registered a case and are looking into the circumstances around Satyanarayana's death.
These back-to-back tragedies are raising bigger questions about the mental and physical health pressures faced by police personnel across India.
A Special Investigation Team has been set up specifically to investigate the circumstances of Y Puran Kumar's death.
