There are several causes of stress among the police personnel which affects their daily life. Sometimes the quantum of stress is of such a high degree that it compels the personnel in the police force to commit suicide due to multiple reasons. Suicides were found committed by 20 police personnel during a time span of 2 years which were examined by Forensic experts to find out the causes and mode of death. The cases were analyzed based on the data available from the places of occurrence, the examination of the dead bodies, and information received from the police and the public. The data has been analyzed for an in-depth study and the findings have been presented in the light of the results obtained. Most of the suicides (70%) were committed by service weapons and 55% of the victims were alcoholics. For 30% of the victims, the cause of suicide was found to be extramarital relations.
