According to reports, a State Reserve Police Force jawan named Prakash Kapde shot himself to death in Jamner. Kapde was tasked with defending renowned former cricket player and Bharat Ratna laureate Sachin Tendulkar. Hindustan Times has received confirmation of the development from sources close to Tendulkar; Kapde shot himself in the neck while visiting his birthplace with a service pistol. According to Kiran Shinde, the senior police inspector of Jamner, the event happened at 1:30 am.

Investigations are being conducted to determine the reasons for his acts, since the incident’s purpose is yet unknown. A postmortem examination has been ordered for Kapde’s remains. According to Shinde, the circumstances surrounding the purported suicide are being looked into.
“As per preliminary inquiries, he may have chosen the drastic action owing to certain private reasons, but we are still waiting for all the details of the probe,” Mr. Shinde told a news agency.

The Jamner Police have reported an accidental fatality. Further inquiries are under progress, encompassing conversations with his kin, colleagues, and further associates.

At the age of 39, Kapde left behind his ailing parents, spouse, two little kids, sibling, and more family members.

Considering that a jawan assigned to VVIP protection was involved, the SRPF is anticipated to initiate a separate inquiry into the incident.
