Patna, Feb 4 (NationPress) A shocking incident has emerged from the Amaur police station in Purnea district of Bihar, where a constable was discovered deceased under suspicious conditions within the guard quarters situated on the police station grounds.
The constable, identified as Alamnath Bhuiyan, hails from Gaya district.
He was found with a gunshot wound to his neck, and a carbine along with a spent cartridge were retrieved from the scene, raising serious alarms and triggering an extensive investigation.
Preliminary reports indicate that the occurrence took place around 10:00 AM.
A staff member from the police canteen went to deliver breakfast to the constable’s room and noticed the door ajar. Peering inside, he found the constable lying on the floor, surrounded by blood.
He immediately raised the alarm, prompting other officers to rush to the location.
The Amaur Station House Officer and Byasi DSP Jitendra Kumar Pandey were soon on the scene, where the crime scene was promptly cordoned off. A Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) team and a dog squad were summoned to perform a thorough examination.
According to police sources, the constable had a conversation with his wife around 8:00 AM, during which nothing seemed amiss.
The tragic event transpired within approximately two hours of that call.
Authorities stated that it is premature to determine whether the constable took his own life or if foul play was involved. All potential scenarios are currently under scrutiny.
The constable’s family has been notified, and relatives have departed from Gaya to Purnea.
The Purnea police have sent the body for autopsy and await the findings.
Officials have indicated that further information will become available only after the autopsy and forensic analysis are concluded.
“The autopsy and FSL reports will clarify whether it was a suicide or homicide,” an official remarked.
For now, officers are holding back from making any conclusive statements.
