The deceased, who used to work as a junior doctor at a private hospital in Juran Chapra, allegedly shot himself with a licensed DBBL (Double-Barrel Breech-Loading) gun registered in his father’s name.

According to the police, the deceased, after finishing his duty, came back home around 7 pm and ate with his grandmother and mother, following which he went to his third-floor study room.

“Hours later, family members heard a gunshot sound. They went to the third floor where he was lying in a pool of blood and a licensed gun was found near his feet,” a police officer said.

“Prima facie, it appears to be a case of suicide. The victim’s family members claimed that he had been mentally disturbed for several days after he failed to get through the postgraduate examination, the results of which were declared a few days ago,” Muzaffarpur senior superintendent of police (SSP) Sushil Kumar said.
