(MENAFN- IANS) Barabanki, June 27 (IANS) A trainee Police sub-inspector allegedly committed suicide by shooting himself with his service revolver in Uttar Pradesh's Barabanki on Wednesday night in his room within the premises of Kothi police.
The victim identified as Arun Yadav, 30, had recently been transferred just two and a half months ago.
According to police, a suicide note from the scene cited his battle with migraine as the reason behind the step.
Additional SP (ASP) of Barabanki, Akhilesh Narain Singh, said that Arun, a resident of Kanpur, had joined the police force in March 2023.
