Bharat served the community with dedication as an assistant commissioner of police (ACP) at Rajapeth Police station in Amaravati. The incident occurred in the early hours at his home in the Baner area of Pune.
Tragically, after he fired the fatal shot at his wife, his son and nephew rushed to the scene, only to be met with another heart-rending shot, this time directed at the nephew, who was hit in the chest. All three lives were lost in an instant, leaving behind a trail of grief and unanswered questions.
The victims have been identified as Moni Gaikwad, the 44-year-old wife of the ACP, and his 35-year-old nephew, Deepak. The community mourns this profound loss of their colleague and the family he leaves behind.
In July, another distressing event occurred, where IPS Vijayakumar, the Deputy Inspector General of Police (Coimbatore Range) in Tamil Nadu, died by suicide by shooting himself at his official residence in Coimbatore. However, the exact reasons behind the senior officer’s tragic decision remain unknown at this time.
