In a video that is doing the rounds on social media, a police constable from the Baghpat police department in Uttar Pradesh can be seen narrating his ordeal.

The constable said that the department was least concerned about the lives of police personnel. He says, “The purpose of this video is to highlight some issues faced by the police personnel. In the last 2 years at least 10-12 constables have committed suicides in UP. But no official has reacted to it. Yesterday too 2 police personnel committed suicide in Ayodhya and Meerut… Has anyone thought why these incidents are happening…”

"I am hurt… my sister died on July 20. My leave was not approved… Our postings are also approved for far away places… This is a request to remove the Border Scheme. At least we can stay near our homes and look after our family too," he added.
