  "account": "Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district witnessed the death of 40-year-old police constable Vijendra Thakur on September 30, raising questions about the manner of his demise. The police stated that Thakur ended his life by shooting himself with his service rifle at Sendra Camp in Farsegarh police station area. An accidental death report was filed at the Farsegarh police station, and the matter is currently under investigation. However, Thakur's family from Devnagar village in Surajpur district maintained that he was murdered. On Friday morning, family members and local residents staged a protest in Ramanujnagar development block of Surajpur. Thakur's wife Sarita expressed her disbelief, stating that she had last spoken to her husband on the night of September 29 and found no unusual behavior. Lalji Thakur, the deceased's father, also confirmed to the policemen that his son had shot himself.",
