An Uttar Pradesh Police constable allegedly committed suicide by shooting himself with his service rifle at his rented house here, an official said on Sunday.
Vivek Verma (23), a 2020 batch constable and a resident of Lakhimpur Kheri was currently posted in the police line, Superintendent of Police (SP) Keshav Kumar said.
Vivek Verma lived in a rented house in Chhota Dhusah locality of Dehat police station area. When he did not turn up for duty on Saturday, police personnel were sent to his residence, he said.
The door of his room was closed from inside and when it was opened, Vivek's blood-soaked body was found lying inside, the SP said.
