A 38-year-old BSF jawan was allegedly found hanging in his rented accommodation in the Shulunguri area of Kolkata’s New Town, officials said on Monday. The personnel had left a suicide note to the family on WhatsApp ahead of taking the extreme step.
Surya Kanta Das, who hailed from Odisha, had moved to the Eco Park Police Station limits in Kolkata nearly a month ago, they said.
According to the police sources, as Das left a WhatsApp message to his family shortly before the alleged suicide, his family rushed to the spot, where they found him hanging. They immediately informed the police about the incident.
Officials from the Eco Park Police Station and the BSF arrived at his residence and sent his body for a post-mortem to ascertain the exact cause of death.
The suicide note addressed to the family mentioned mental stress as a reason behind taking the extreme step, sources said.
The Eco Park Police have launched a detailed investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
