A trainee police sub inspector Monday allegedly committed suicide by shooting himself with a relative's revolver in Ahmedabad's Chandlodiya locality, police said.

PSI Devendra Rathod, who was undergoing training at the Gujarat Police Academy in Karai in Gandhinagar, shot himself in the afternoon on Monday at his residence, Inspector DH Gadhvi of Sola police station said.

"On Monday afternoon, he told his wife that he was going to rest. His wife heard a gun shot and rushed to the room and found him lying in a pool of blood, with a revolver by his side," he said.

The official added that no suicide note was found from the spot but Rathod's kin had claimed that he was depressed as he was suffering from migraine and back pain.
