A 28-year-old PAC (Pradeshik Armed Constabulary) jawan was found hanging at his home in Uttar Pradesh’s Shamli district. As per the police, he allegedly hanged himself to death.

The reason behind this extreme step is yet to be ascertained.

Kandhla Station House Officer (SHO) Satish Kumar said the incident took place in Alam village when police found the body of Yugal Kumar hanging from the ceiling fan in his room.

The body has been sent for post-mortem and further investigation is underway, the officer said.

Yugal had joined the PAC in 2021 and was posted in Meerut. The officials told PTI that he was absent from duty since May 22, 2025.

Notably, this is the second suicide case of a PAC jawan this week. Last week also, a PAC constable shot himself in Sonbhadra district.

The jawan, Sandeep Singh (26), a native of Ballia, allegedly shot himself while on duty. He was stationed at 39th Battalion in Mirzapur and returned to Amwar PAC camp in Sonbhadra on Aug 5 after completing VVIP duty in Varanasi.

Odisha Police Constable Suicide

The body of a female police constable was found hanging from a tree near Nuapada railway station in Odisha on Saturday, officials reported.

Locals who spotted the body informed the police. The authorities then brought it down and sent it for a post-mortem examination.

Hours before her body was found, the deceased constable had sent a video message to several people, claiming she intended to end her life due to “torture" by her husband and in-laws.

“We have registered a case of abetment to suicide. We are verifying the video," said a police officer, adding that an investigation has been started.
