The 23-year-old constable was posted at the Sangareddy Police Station. He reportedly became trapped in debt after losing money through online gaming and betting. Police said Sandeep lived with his sister in Sangareddy town and had joined the force only a year ago.
Sajjanar urged the public to treat life’s struggles with strength and not resort to suicide. “No challenge is permanent. One must face hardships courageously instead of giving up,” he said.
Family members said Sandeep had been under stress in recent weeks. His death has left his family and colleagues in shock and sorrow.
