Too much pressure at workplace cost the life of my Dad, alleges family of the deceased ASI
My father has not committed suicide, says son of the deceased policeman
March 21: An on-duty Assistant Sub Inspector (ASI) of Police shot himself with his service revolver inside Silchar Sadar Police Station at around 3,15 PM on Monday. This was confirmed by Superintendent of Police, Cachar, Ramandeep Kaur. However, later on at night, the family members of the deceased police officer Gaur Bidhu Singh, posted as Seristadar at Silchar Sadar Police Station alleged that “too much pressure at workplace cost his life.”
Reshmi Singh, the daughter of the deceased ASI Gaur Bidhu Singh and his son Ujjal Singh said, “Our father cannot commit suicide. Infact, he has not done so. Even today morning, he left for office in a jovial mood and was supposed to come at home for lunch at his usual time around 2 PM.There was much work pressure and his blood pressure was also high. We want justice. We want to know the real reason for his death. There should be a proper investigation of his death.”
“Who will now look after our family? My father was the only earning member of our family. I have two brothers. The elder one is without any work and the younger studies in school. I have left studies recently. We are now worried for our mother too who is unable to bear the shock. The government must support our family. Recently, due to too much work pressure, he became diabetic and also suffered from high BP. He was a very jovial person. There was no tension in our house. A few days ago, he suddenly became ill at the police station due to high BP,” said Reshmi Singh, the daughter of the deceased policeman.
The body of Gaur Bidhu Singh was brought to his house at Moynarbond area in Udharbond on Monday night after the post-mortem.
Earlier during the day, Ramandeep Kaur, Superintendent of Police, Cachar said, “We are yet to ascertain the cause of his suicide. The legal formalities are being undertaken now. Pressure of duty is prevalent everywhere. But there are ways and means to deal with pressure and committing suicide is definitely not one of it. He was a quiet and hard working person with no issues at work place. If it was any workplace related pressure, he ought to have talked about it, but that was not the case. Anyhow, we will investigate into the matter.”
