Back in September this year, a 28-year-old woman constable, Jhanvi Dabhi, died by suicide at her residence in Gandhinagar. She was found hanging from a ceiling fan on September 16.

Dabhi, who lived in Sector 3D, was posted at the Shahibaug Police Headquarters in Ahmedabad. She had returned home after completing her night shift on September 14.

When she did not leave her room late at night, her family members knocked on the door. After receiving no response, they entered and found her hanging from the ceiling fan using a dupatta.

Police brought her body down, conducted an inquest and sent it for a post-mortem examination. Preliminary investigations revealed that Dabhi was previously divorced. The Sector 7 police registered an accidental death case and began questioning her family members, friends and colleagues as part of the investigation.
