Policeman ends life after fight with wife

Vairamuthu, attached to the Saidapet police station, hanged himself to death. The police said that he and his wife had a difference of opinion over choosing the right name for their son and it could have forced him to end his life.


On Wednesday night, after coming back from work, he went to his room and locked himself in. When he failed to respond even after repeated knocks, his family members broke open the door and found him dead. His body was later shifted to the government hospital in Royapettah.


The Teynampet police registered a case in connection with the incident and further investigations are on to find if there was any other possible reason for his extreme step.
