A senior advocate allegedly took his own life by shooting himself with his licensed pistol here today, police said.
Raj Kumar Bhan allegedly killed himself at his Model Town residence this afternoon, they said.
Police said that after hearing gun shot, his family members rushed from the adjoining room and found him lying dead in the bathroom.
They told the police that a suicide note had been recovered from the spot, in which the advocate had mentioned that he was taking the extreme step as he was fed with his continued illness.
