Sriharikota: Wife of CISF SI ends life after husband dies at SHAR; 3 suicide incidents in 2 days

Two days after a CISF Sub-Inspector, who was posted at Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SHAR) at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh allegedly died by suicide, his wife too ended her life on Wednesday, police said.

His wife along with other family members reached Sriharikota on Tuesday after learning about the death of her husband.
She was found hanging from the ceiling fan in the guest house located at SHAR premises today morning, a police official told PTI.
The woman is suspected to have died by suicide as she was unable to bear the death of her husband, the official said.
Another CISF jawan deployed at SHAR was found hanging from a tree on Sunday, police said.
Asked about the reasons behind the deaths of the two CISF personnel, the official said based on preliminary investigation it seems they took the extreme step due to family related issues.
Harassment by senior officials?
