Police in Chandigarh report that head constable Nitin Singh is found shot dead in his government residence. Authorities say he has a gunshot injury to his head, and his body is discovered at his home.
According to the reports, Singh’s son is detained in connection with the death. The outlets differ slightly in emphasis, with one describing the killing as being carried out by the son, while the other focuses on the fact that the son is taken into custody after the shooting at the residence. Both accounts point to the same core incident—an apparent shooting at the head constable’s home—and the immediate police response involving detention of the son.
Investigators are expected to examine the circumstances around how the shooting happened, including the sequence of events inside the residence and any preliminary statements from family members. Authorities treat the case as an active matter and continue to work to establish the facts behind the incident.
