Nagpur, April 24: Disheartened by a failed love affair, police constable Nilesh Gupta (26) posted at Headquarters hanged himself at his Dharampeth police quarters on Monday morning.
The notes in his personal diary led the cops to the conclusion that Gupta took the extreme step after his girlfriend refused to marry him and started an affair with another man.
Expressing his love, Gupta wrote, "I am madly in love with you. Please don't leave me. Now, you decide whether you want to marry me and see me alive, or want to see me dead." These were the two last lines written by Gupta on Sunday evening.
He was found hanging from the ventilator hook by his cousin Rahul at around 8.15am on Monday.
Ambazari police have so far registered a case of accidental death. Rahul told the cops that Gupta woke up early morning at his regular time and even fetched the water. Gupta committed suicide when Rahul had gone to the gym.
Gupta, a resident of Kondhali, had been selected in Maharashtra police in 2008. He was posted at police headquarters and was deployed as a gunman for Congress leader Deepak Katole. Gupta had been in a relationship with the girl at Kondhali for the last seven years.
"The two fell in love while studying in the same college. Later, Gupta was selected in police department and the girl got a job in a private credit cooperative society," said Gupta's elder brother Nikhilesh.
Gupta's father had passed away a few years ago while his mother, Chanda (homemaker), and brothers Nikhilesh and Amar stay at Kondhali.
A few months ago, Gupta had proposed to the girl but she did not reply. Since then the girl had started avoiding his calls and did not meet him. Last week, Gupta had gone to Kondhali and came to know about her other love affair. "He saw the girl roaming with the manager of her company and had an heated argument with them. He also had a brawl with the manager, who lodged a complaint against him," said Gupta's cousin.
Kondhali cops had lodged a non-cognizable offence against him and had called him for questioning on Monday. Relatives said Gupta's family and friends had tried hard to bring him out from the depression but failed.
Meanwhile, in another incident, angry after an argument with husband Ravindra, homemaker Rajni Yadav (37) jumped off from the third floor of her residence at Gokulpeth on Sunday afternoon. She died while undergoing treatment on Monday morning. Ambazari police have registered a case of accidental death.
Also, 40-year-old Ravi Bhatnagar hanged himself at his residence in Tehsil near Timki police chowky on Sunday evening. Cops are clueless about the reason for the suicide.
