31-year-old prison guard kills himself in Chennai

Prison Police Puzhal

CHENNAI: A 31-year-old prison guard allegedly killed himself at his house in Puzhal on Friday night. Police suspect it was due to family pressure.

The deceased, M Kasiraman, a resident of Tirunelveli was staying with his wife in Puzhal. Police said Kasiraman joined the uniformed services in 2017 and was posted as a prison guard in the remand section of the Puzhal Central prison.

Three years ago, Kasiraman got married, the couple had some misunderstandings a few months ago, police said.

"On Friday night while Kasiraman was on leave the couple allegedly quarrelled and the man who locked himself in a room did not step out after several hours. His wife, who was scared, called the neighbours who broke open the door and found him hanging," said a senior police officer.

Police registered a case and sent the body to the Stanley Government hospital for postmortem.
