SPO commits suicide
Tribune News Service

Poonch, June 20
Alleged strained relations with his wife forced a special police officer (SPO) of Rajouri police to reportedly commit suicide by consuming some poisonous substance at his residence in Bela colony in Rajouri last night.

Sources in the police department said Ashfaq Ahmed, son of Muhammad Latief (bearing registration number-61) of Ghambir Muglan was having strained relations with his wife over frequent visits of her cousin to their residence. "The SPO on many occasions had objected to frequent visits of cousin of his wife to their place but the wife was relentless. Depressed by this behaviour, the SPO brought the matter to the notice of family elders and a meeting was convened on Thursday to discuss the issue, police sources claimed.

On Thursday when no one from couples families turned up for the meeting, the depressed SPO after offering night prayers, went inside his room after informing his wife that he should not be disturbed, sources added.

In the morning, sources said when the SPO didn't come out of his room, the wife got suspicious and informed landlords who informed the police. After reaching the spot, the police broke open the door and found the SPO dead.
