Manipuri Police Officer on duty found
Dead at a Police Station in Silchar, Cachar.
Assistant of sub-inspector (ASI), Laishram Gourbidhu has been found dead with a bullet in his head at Silchar Sadar Police Station in Cachar, Assam.
He was a resident of Udharbond, Moynarbond area in Cachar (Assam) and is being survived by his daughter, sons and wife. His wife is unwell from the shocked news of his sudden death.
According to the official statement of Cachar Police, ASI Gourbidhu shot himself using his own service gun at around 3:15 pm on March 21. He was sitting on his chair at his designated table and shot himself in presence of his colleagues at Silchar Sadar Police Station.
His daughter, Rashmi counters the official statement and alleges that there is a conspiracy behind the death of her father. “Why would he commit su***de. The Police department is trying to frame it as su***de. My father left home happily and said that he will do lunch at home. If he had to kill himself, why would he ask my mother to make lunch? We demand a detailed investigation of the death of my father,” added Rashmi.
She also mentioned that her father’s application for leave wasn’t approved. “My father almost fainted while on duty because of his high blood pressure. He is a patient with diabetes too. We went to Guwahati recently for his treatment and we have all these documents. Yet, his application for leave wasn’t granted and he was put under huge pressure at work,” said Rashmi.
ASI Gourbidhu’s dead body has been handed over to the family, and today morning, the family performed the last rites following all rituals. Cachar Police offered his mortal remains a formal ceremonial salute.
