Delhi Police Sub Inspector has named an ACP among others for pushing him over the edge after some ammunition went missing from the weaponry department
He may have pulled the trigger himself, but Delhi Police Sub Inspector Ajit Singh has held several of his colleagues responsible for his death. Singh had shot himself at his office - E-block security lines near Krishna Menon Marg - last Thursday. Sources say he had left a note which surprisingly the cops failed to locate and was handed over to them by those who conducted the post mortem.

In the note Singh has named six of his colleagues and other senior police officers, including an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) of his branch. Even though the police officers remain tight-lipped, sources said senior cops were responsible for the incident in some way.
"In a four-page note, the Sub Inspector has mentioned that he had faced flak from the officers over alleged mysterious disappearance of ammunition (bullets) from the weaponry department of E-block security lines of which Singh was in-charge," a source stated.
According to reports, apart from an ACP, there are names of an Inspector, two Hawaldars and two Constables in the note. "It is an ostensible matter of disappearance of ammunition and a conspiracy," a senior police officer, on condition of anonymity. Delhi police, however, didn't confirm.
Sources said police are trying to hush up the matter and are not revealing anything. No one is prepared to come on record. The investigation officer of the case said that a note has been recovered and inquiry is on at the Tughlaq Road police station of New Delhi district. Joint Commissioner of Police, New Delhi district, Dharmendra Kumar confirmed that a note has been recovered.
Singh was a resident of Khyala colony in west district (5 B/9, Vishnu Garden) and was about to retire in a few months. Senior police officers said that the note resembles a complaint which he has written against six cops about the working at the security unit. "He has named the cops and has complained that the things are not well in the department," the senior police officer stated.
Sources said there was an altercation between senior cops and Ajit Singh over a number of bullets going missing from the weaponry department. "What exactly happened is still a mystery and Delhi police is hiding something," a police source said, on condition of anonymity.
When MiD DAY tried to contact Singh's family members, they refused to speak on the matter.
A senior police officer deputed at Khyala police station said: "Something is fishy; when we went to his house his family members refused to say anything and didn't even give their phone number."
