TN Police: COIMBATORE: policeman suicide: 10वी क्लॉस से करता था प्यार, उसकी शादी के छह साल बाद कर ली जिंदगी खत्म..

COIMBATORE: A 30-year-old police constable committed suicide by jumping in front of a Chennai bound moving train at Nanjundapuram in the city on Wednesday morning. The deceased has been identified as S Ramachandran, a second grade police constable attached with the Protection of Civil Rights (PCV) unit in the city police. Son of railway employee R Shanmughan, he was a resident of Railway Colony in Podanur. Victim of a failed love triangle, Ramachandran was undergoing treatment at Coimbatore Medical College Hospital (CMCH) and was discharged just two days ago, after being stabbed by his friend turned foe on March 10. The altercation was caused by a love triangle where the constable and his friend D Shankar were in love with the same girl Surya, since class 10. Six years ago, Surya had got married and moved to another locality. Since then, Ramachandran has been very distraught and moody. He believed that Shankar, who is also married, had encouraged Surya to get married. His anger against Shankar led to a physical fight on March 10 during which the constable was stabbed. D Shankar, 39, an interior decorator from Ramanathapuram, was arrested and he is now in jail. Shankar had stabbed Ramachandran on his left rib and back.

After leaving hospital, Ramachandran was extremely upset and confined himself to the house. On Tuesday evening, he met with his teachers at the Nanjundapuram School and expressed that he lost interest in life. He went to the nearby electric crematorium and pleaded with the staff to burn him live. When the staff tried to pacify him, Ramachandran said he would return as a dead body on Wednesday. At around 7.50 am, he jumped in front of the Mangalore-Chennai West Coast Express near Nanjundapuram railway gate. He died on the spot after sustaining severe head injuries. His body was taken to CMCH to conduct an autopsy and handed over to relatives later.
