The husband of a woman police constable posted at Meghwadi police station allegedly died by suicide in his house in Charkop on Tuesday. This is the fourth such incident in the area in the past two weeks and the fifth within 20 days. The recent incident occurred on Tuesday morning in Charkop, where 33-year-old Shrikant Avhad died by hanging himself from a ceiling fan of his flat in Nakshatra CHLS Tower, Charkop.

“Avhad was working in the film industry and married the police constable three years ago, during the pandemic,” said an officer. Avhad allegedly hanged himself from the same ceiling fan that his younger brother Pramod, 27, used to hang himself 20 days ago. Family sources told police the deceased was deeply shocked by the death of his younger brother and was repeatedly telling them that his brother was calling him.
