CHENNAI: A head constable attached to the Royapettah All Women Police Station attempted to end her life after a memo was issued to her by a senior police officer for slacking on duty.
The constable, Lawvanya, was on court duty and assigned to follow up cases at the XVIII Metropolitan Magistrates Court in a notebook. However, during a regular meeting, a senior officer found that Lawvanya did not maintain the records.
He issued a memo on Monday regarding the same and demanded an explanation within five days. Upset over this, Lawvanya took the extreme step on Saturday evening. She was rushed to a hospital where she was treated and sent home.
