Chandigarh Head Constable Allegedly Shot Dead by Teen Son Over Marriage Dispute
A police head constable in Chandigarh was found dead with a gunshot wound following an argument with his 18-year-old son regarding the teenager's plans to marry his girlfriend.
A head constable serving with the Chandigarh Police was reportedly found deceased at his government residence in Sector 22, Chandigarh, on Friday. Nitin Singh, the officer, sustained a gunshot injury to his head.
The discovery of Mr. Singh's body followed an argument he had on Thursday with his 18-year-old son. The dispute reportedly centered on the son's desire to marry his girlfriend, a plan to which the head constable had objected.
According to reports, Mr. Singh had advised his son to postpone any marriage plans until he reached the age of 21. This disagreement is understood to have escalated into the fatal incident.
Authorities have launched an investigation into the matter. The 18-year-old son is currently implicated in connection with his father's death. Further details are expected to emerge as the investigation progresses.
