In a heartbreaking incident, a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) constable, identified as Mungulu Behra (32), deployed as a security guard at Mormugaon port, was discovered dead by suicide in his barracks at the CISF colony in Mormugao Sada. The exact reason for the tragic act remains elusive, leaving the community and authorities in shock.
According to the Mormugaon Police, the unfortunate event unfolded on March 2 around 9:30 pm when Mungulu Behra went to sleep in his barracks for the night.
