Tragic Death Shocks Punjab
A personal tragedy has plunged a high-profile family into a shocking public controversy in Punjab. Akshayveer Singh, the 37-year-old son of former Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) Sidharth Chattopadhyaya, was found dead under mysterious circumstances at his Mohali residence last week. The incident, initially seen as a tragic loss, has taken a deeply disturbing turn with the discovery of a purported suicide note.
Suicide Note Alleges Illicit Father-Wife Affair
The core of the controversy lies in a note allegedly written by Akshayveer Singh before his death. According to police sources, the note, now a key piece of evidence, levels devastating allegations against his father. It reportedly claims that Sidharth Chattopadhyaya, the former top cop of the state, was involved in an illicit affair with Akshayveer’s own wife.
This explosive claim has reframed the tragedy, suggesting a backdrop of profound betrayal and emotional turmoil within the family. The note paints a grim picture of the circumstances that may have led to the young lawyer’s death.
Police Investigation Underway
The Mohali Police have launched an investigation into the unnatural death, initiating inquest proceedings under Section 174 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC). A senior official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, commented on the gravity of the situation.
“This is a very sensitive matter involving a high-profile family,” the official stated. “The allegations in the note are being taken very seriously and will be thoroughly investigated. We are proceeding with the utmost caution.”
Forensic experts are currently examining the purported suicide note to verify its handwriting and authenticity. Investigators are expected to question all concerned family members, including the former DGP and Akshayveer’s wife, based on the note’s contents.
A Family in Crisis
The Chattopadhyaya family has so far maintained a public silence as they navigate both their immense grief and the ensuing media scrutiny. Sidharth Chattopadhyaya is a prominent figure in Punjab, whose tenure as DGP was often in the headlines. The emergence of such damaging personal allegations has stunned the public and raised difficult questions.
This case serves as a stark reminder of the hidden struggles that can exist even in the most influential of families. As the investigation continues, the focus remains on verifying the claims made in the note and uncovering the truth behind this heart-wrenching incident. The search for answers in this complex and tragic case has only just begun.
