A female Indian Army officer allegedly committed suicide in the guesthouse of the Garuda Sharath Officers’ Mess in Delhi Cantonment on Tuesday, a day after her spouse, an Indian Air Force (IAF) officer, died in Agra, police said on Thursday.
Renu Tanwar, a Military Nursing Service (MNS) Captain, was found dead in one of the guest house’s rooms, according to authorities, who also discovered a suicide note in the room.
Tanwar’s spouse, Flight Lieutenant Deendayal Deep, who worked at the Agra Military Hospital, allegedly committed suicide in Agra on Monday, according to authorities. The IAF has initiated an investigation into Deep’s death, according to Mayank Tiwari, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) for Lohamandi, Agra.
Captain Tanwar arrived at the officers’ guesthouse in Delhi on the evening of October 14 with her brother and mother, according to Surendra Choudhary, Deputy Commissioner of Police, South West. A crime scene team and forensic experts have been summoned to check the guesthouse and gather evidence.
“We suspect that there were some personal issues between the couple for the last year forcing the officer (Deep) to take the extreme step,” Tiwari told reporters. However, the authorities found no suicide note in the room where he was supposedly discovered dead.
Flight Lieutenant Deendayal Deep was cremated Wednesday morning. He lived in Morara village, Bihar Sharif, Nalanda district.
According to authorities, the cop returned to his room after spending time with his colleagues on Monday night. “When he was not seen by his colleagues the next morning, the airmen working with him became concerned and forced open his door,” stated Captain Tiwari.
“We’ve learned that Deendayal was behaving normally at dinner with his colleagues the night before, and none of the airmen expected him to take such severe action. “He had laughed and cracked jokes, his fellow airmen told the police,” the ACP stated. ACP Tiwari also told The Indian Express that Flight Lieutenant Deendayal Deep died from asphyxiation, as established by a postmortem.
