"A shooting was reported on Wednesday morning after he has been admitted to a private hospital for better treatment.

Patna Police on Suicide Attempt
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.
