CHENNAI: A 31-year-old sub-inspector of police committed suicide by hanging at his residence in Avadi on Wednesday. According to police sources,
Sri Ganesh of the Korattur (law and order) station, who is survived by his wife Mohana Priya (28) and son Rubesh (1), was frustrated that his request to serve in one of the force's special wings was denied.

"He often complained that he didn't want to serve as a law and order SI. Recently, he was transferred to Korattur from Sathangadu police station on the recommendation of a senior police officer," a police officer said.

A few weeks ago, Sri Ganesh approached a senior police officer and submitted a petition, seeking entry into a special agency. The officer, sources said, scolded him in front of other policemen and asked him to continue in his post. Sri Ganesh then went on medical leave for a month.

The Avadi police registered a case and began investigations.
