The tragedy unfolded in a Sector 22 residence on Friday morning, where Head Constable Nitin, posted in the Accounts Branch at Police Headquarters, met a violent end. According to initial police reports, Nitin engaged in a heated argument with his son, Armaan, which rapidly escalated into gunfire. Nitin sustained multiple injuries and died at the scene, his body discovered inside the room after family members alerted authorities.
Senior Superintendent of Police Kanwardeep Kaur confirmed the detention of Armaan, who is now under intense questioning. Investigation teams and forensic experts rushed to the location to secure the area and gather physical evidence. Their primary focus is establishing the exact sequence of events and identifying the weapon used, as early indications point to the use of Nitin's own service revolver.
The case has shifted from a simple family dispute inquiry to a rigorous forensic examination. Investigators are working to rule out other possibilities and document the precise circumstances leading to the constable's death. Until the forensic report is finalized, the police maintain that all angles are being explored to ensure no detail is overlooked in this high-profile case.
The next critical step involves the completion of the forensic analysis and the finalization of the charge sheet based on Armaan's statements. The investigation team will determine whether the incident remains classified as a domestic dispute or if additional factors emerge during the deeper probe of the Sector 22 crime scene.
