Stamp vendor ‘shoots himself’ in Mohali; two suicide notes found: Cops

Shortly after they left, a gunshot-like sound was heard.

When they rushed back inside, they found Navchetan Singh with blood streaming from his head onto his shirt, and a revolver lying near his feet.

Police immediately arrived at the scene and began investigating from all angles.

The forensic team too reached the spot and collected samples of bullets, the revolver, and blood.

The police stated, “We are questioning family members and gathering eyewitness accounts and other evidence to thoroughly investigate the real reasons behind the suicide.”

So far, the exact reasons behind Navchetan Singh’s suicide remain unclear, but family, financial, and mental health-related circumstances are being probed.

The police claimed that once the coroner and forensic reports come in, the truth will be revealed.

When contacted, Sohana SHO Simran Singh said that after reviewing CCTV footage and statements from family members, they had registered a case under Section 108 (abetment of suicide) of the BNS.

Rana left behind two handwritten notes, now in police custody, that provide crucial insight into his state of mind before the incident.

According to police sources, one note read: “I don’t owe money to anyone. Sandhu has two cheques and Amit Chhabra has one cheque.” The second note stated: “Sunita, Phase-7, is responsible for my death.”

Navchetan Singh had signed both notes, including the date.

Based on the content of the notes, the police registered a case against the named woman and begun a detailed investigation.

The notes are being treated as a suicide note, and the individuals mentioned are now under scrutiny.

Navchetan’s family told the police that he had left home after breakfast around 9 am, as usual, and headed to his office.

About two hours later, they received a call informing them that he had died by suicide after shooting himself.

The family members said, “His behavior at home was completely normal. There were no signs of distress or any indication that he was troubled.”
