ASR district: police SI found with gunshot wound at station after messaging senior about personal troubles

An Armed Reserve Sub-Inspector of the Andhra Pradesh Special Police was discovered with a gunshot wound at the Dumbriguda police station in Alluri Sitharama Raju district, Andhra Pradesh, on Monday. The exact circumstances surrounding the incident are under investigation. Sources suggest that the station staff were engaged in special prayers for Vinayaka Chavithi when they heard a gunshot.

Upon reaching the sub-inspector, they found him injured. He was promptly taken to the Area Hospital at Araku Valley and subsequently referred to a private hospital in Visakhapatnam for further treatment due to the severity of his condition. It has been reported that Mr. Satyanarayana had communicated with a senior police officer prior to the incident, disclosing personal troubles he was experiencing.

The senior officer reportedly advised him against making any impulsive decisions and assured him that he would intervene on his behalf to resolve the matter. However, Mr. Satyanarayana sustained the injury shortly after their exchange. Individuals seeking support during difficult times are advised to call Tele-MANAS at 14416 or contact the police at 100.
