A 25-year-old police recruit committed suicide on Monday by hanging himself at a police training centre in Solapur. The constable had been recruited last year from the Mumbai police commissionerate, and had been sent for a training programme to the Solapur facility.

The incident took place at around 7 am on Monday, after the deceased, identified as Ganesh Jagannath Thorve, returned to his hostel after night duty.
The police investigating the case said the deceased has left a suicide note, in which he mentioned that he was committing suicide due to his ongoing illness. He was suffering from shingles, an infection that causes a very painful rash.
Assistant Police Inspector Jannardhan Salunke, from the Faujdar Chawadi police station in Solapur, said, &ldquo;The incident took place between 7 am and 8 am, as he had returned to his hostel room at 7 am. It (suicide) came to light after his roommate returned for breakfast from their training at 8 am.&rdquo;
Salunke further said, &ldquo;Thorve, in his suicide note, wrote that he had shingles, and even after regular treatment, it wasn&rsquo;t getting cured. Due to this, he decided to commit suicide.&rdquo;
He added, &ldquo;Thorve was suffering from the infection for the past two months. He had visited his native place last month and discussed it with his cousins. He had also seen a local doctor there, but it wasn&rsquo;t getting cured, due to which he got frustrated and committed suicide.&rdquo;
Thorve, who hails from Satara, had been posted to the Solapur training centre since November, and was expected to finish the programme in the next two months. Mumbai police&rsquo;s recruitment was in the news last year after four aspiring cops died during the 5-kilometre run.

He had been sent to Solapur for training; he left a note saying that though he was being treated for shingles, he was ending his life as it wasn&rsquo;t getting cured
