Tragic Suicide of Police Head Constable in Coimbatore
Coimbatore was left in shock following the tragic suicide of a head constable attached to the investigation wing of Saravanampatti Police station. The deceased, identified as Balakumar (38), was a dedicated member of the force since 2003. He resided in Ganapathi Maanager with his wife and two children, where the heartbreaking incident took place.
Family Struggles and Tragic End
Balakumar’s wife had recently received a promotion at her job in a private hotel, leading to her relocation to the London branch two weeks prior to the incident. This left Balakumar responsible for their two children, who were being cared for by his in-laws in Salem. The separation from his wife and the added pressure of managing the household and children alone may have taken a toll on him.
Unanswered Questions and Painful Discovery
After returning home from his election duty, Balakumar failed to show up for work for two consecutive days, raising concerns among his family members. Despite their attempts to reach him, they were unable to make contact. It was only when they requested the police to check on him that the heartbreaking truth was revealed. The police team discovered Balakumar’s lifeless body, prompting further investigation into the circumstances surrounding his untimely death.
Struggles and Unspoken Words
A letter left behind by Balakumar hinted at unresolved issues with his wife, particularly regarding her departure to London. He expressed his inability to communicate effectively with her, hinting at underlying tensions in their relationship. The added stress of work may have exacerbated his emotional turmoil, ultimately leading to his fateful decision.
In times of distress, it is crucial to seek help and support. The health department’s helpline (104) and the Vidiyal helpline run by Coimbatore police (0422-2300999) are available for those struggling with suicidal thoughts or emotional difficulties.
