Ranjan, originally from Shri Krishna Nagar Ahri Aurangabad, is currently posted in the Patna district. Information from family members indicates that the sub-inspector had been under depression for the last 10 to 15 days. The cause of tension is said to be his involvement in a case in his village. This stress is believed to be the reason he shot himself in the morning, according to SDPO. The police have registered a case and initiated an investigation into the matter.
