A policeman attached to the Coimbatore armed city force has committed suicide by shooting himself. The deceased has been identified as Kalimuthu (29), a native of Coimbatore.
Kalimuthu’s relatives and friends alleged that his addiction to the online rummy game was the reason for his suicide. He had borrowed more than Rs 20 lakh from relatives and friends for the game. He committed suicide when he could not repay the borrowed money.
The incident took place during an exhibition held by government officials at Gandhipuram in Coimbatore. The police stall at the exhibition was displaying its weapons in the stall and Kalimuthu was on duty. When Kalimuthu was alone on duty on Friday he took an SLR gun from the display and shot himself in the abdomen.
