He has outstanding mess bill of about Rs 9000, liquor bill of Rs 6926 and cash bill of Rs 6050, totaling Rs 21976. He always says to adjust the said amount. How can we small employees adjust so much money? We remain under a lot of stress regarding this. Because of this there is no other solution except suicide. We are very small employees in CRPF, our views are suppressed. For this reason, many CRPF soldiers are forced to commit suicide.

The Deputy Commandant has repeatedly threatened me with punishment like investigation and strict action. I am taking this step under great compulsion. He has written in the suicide note that who does not love his life. Who does not love his life, but takes wrong steps out of compulsion? In the end he has written that action should be taken against the Deputy Commandant, so that no soldier takes such steps in future.
