Delhi: CR Park Inspector suicide, family alleges torture by senior

Date:

Two days after Police Inspector Kaushal Ganguly shot himself at the C. R. Park Police Station, the family of the deceased alleged that he was tortured by one of his senior officers, adding that that the senior inspector was behind the death.

“My husband was very happy after his promotion and was even working fine. But after March, he was little disturbed. I even asked him what the matter was. He told me that one of his senior officer; I don’t know his name, troubles him a lot. A person takes the time to understand new work. He said that his senior used to just keep his file aside. He was humiliated in front of his juniors,” said the wife of Ganguly.

His wife said that he had a very jolly nature and could never imagine that he would take such a drastic step.

“My husband even told me that his senior abused him too and even passed racist comment. Police claims are false that my husband was depressed. I work in a hospital, if he would have been in depression, I would have known about it,” she added.

She said that she had a word with Ganguly few hours before he allegedly shot himself and even at that time he seemed fine.

“His senior harassed him a lot, publically. It is the police’s duty to protect the people. How can a police inspector behave in such a way?” said Ganguly’s daughter.

The family asserted that Ganguly was right handed and questioned as to how could he shoot himself with his left hand.

Meanwhile, District Commissioner of Police (DCP) South East, R. Baniya said Ganguly’s post-mortem has been done and the primary investigation has been started in the matter.

“The post-mortem done has been done in the C.R. Park Police inspector alleged suicide case. We have started a primary investigation. A proceeding has been started under Section 176 CrPC,” Baniya said in a press briefing here.

Reacting to the allegation made by the family members of the deceased police inspector that he had some tiff with his senior who didn’t use to behave nicely with him, following which he took this drastic step, Baniya said that the matter would be investigated.

“We would look into such issues. So far we have not come across any complaint regarding this,” he said.

Earlier on Wednesday, a police inspector allegedly shot himself dead at Delhi’s C. R. Park Police Station.
