Summary
- A suspended sub-inspector died by suicide at his residence.

A grim turn of events unfolded in Sevvapet near Tiruvallur on Wednesday, with the reported suicide of Giridharan Nagarathinam, a 57-year-old suspended special sub-inspector. Nagarathinam was attached to the Kilpauk Medical College Hospital (KMCH) police station.
