Telangana: Police Constable Dies by Suicide Following Alleged Harassment by Two Men

New Delhi, january 30, 2026: In a tragic incident that has sent shockwaves through the state police department, a young police constable in Telangana reportedly died by suicide earlier this week. Initial investigations suggest the officer took the extreme step after facing persistent harassment and mental agony caused by two local individuals.

The deceased, identified as a 28-year-old constable attached to a local police station, was found at his residence. While no suicide note was immediately recovered from the scene, digital evidence and statements from the family have pointed toward a targeted campaign of harassment.

The Root of the Conflict

According to preliminary reports, the constable had been embroiled in a dispute with two men from his locality over the past few months. The nature of the conflict is believed to have escalated from a personal disagreement into a series of public humiliations and threats.

Family members of the deceased alleged that the two accused had been:

• Verbally abusing the officer in public spaces to undermine his professional authority.
• Threatening to file false complaints with senior police officials to derail his career.
• Using social media or local networks to spread defamatory rumors about his personal life.

Police Investigation and Action

The Telangana police have registered a case under Section 108 (Abetment of Suicide) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Senior officials have confirmed that a special team has been formed to investigate the digital footprints of the accused and to verify the claims made by the victim’s family.

“We are treating this with the utmost seriousness. The loss of a fellow officer under such circumstances is deeply painful,” said a senior Superintendent of Police. “We have already identified the two suspects, and teams are currently conducting raids to take them into custody.”

Investigators are currently scanning the constable’s mobile phone and call records to establish a timeline of the harassment. Initial findings suggest that the two men had contacted the constable multiple times in the 48 hours leading up to his death.

A Growing Concern for Mental Health

This incident has once again highlighted the immense psychological pressure faced by frontline police personnel. While the department provides various support systems, the intersection of personal harassment and professional duty often leaves officers vulnerable.

Mental health advocates and senior retired officers have called for more robust peer-support programs and a culture where officers feel safe reporting personal harassment without the fear of professional stigma.

What Happens Next?

The local police are expected to produce the two accused before the court once the arrests are formalized. Meanwhile, a departmental inquiry may also be initiated to see if any previous complaints were raised by the constable regarding this harassment.

The state government has assured the family of a fast-track investigation to ensure that justice is served.
