New Delhi, April 4

A 36-year-old Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) constable allegedly killed himself using his service rifle at Nangloi Metro Station on Thursday. The deceased was identified as Sahare Kishore Samrao.

“The incident occurred around 6.40 am. His body was discovered near the X-ray baggage scanner. Samrao had joined CISF in 2014 and was posted to the CISF (Delhi Metro Rail Corporation) in 2022. He was part of the unit guarding the Delhi Metro,” the police said.

He originally hailed from Gadchiroli district in Maharashtra and lived with his family in Narela area, they said. Both CISF and Delhi Police are conducting inquiries into the matter, officials added.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
