SURAT: A 55-year-old assistant sub-inspector (ASI) posted in Bhilad police station, a bordering police station, consumed some poisonous material to end life on Saturday morning. Body of Ratilal Patel was found in his residential quarters in Bhilad police line just behind the police station he was posted.
Considered to be very sincere and polite, Patel was transferred to Dharampur a few days ago as per his request. However, Patel did not go to job on Saturday and all calls to him by his colleagues went unanswered since the morning. Police checked at his residence and found it locked from inside. Police broke open the door at around 12 pm and found his body but no suicide note in the house.
