Former Nagaland Governor, CBI chief and Ex-DGP of Himachal Pradesh Ashwani Kumar on Wednesday allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself at his residence in Brockhorst in Shimla.

SP Shimla Mohit Chawla confirmed the incident and said that it was sad and shocking news as he was a role model for police officers.
