Mahajan had joined the police force after taking voluntary retirement from military service. He had been working in the Pune police force since the last few years.
According to police, Mahajan was on a leave for the past few days. On Monday afternoon, police received information from his neighbours that a foul smell was emanating from his house. The police visited his residence and found him hanging from the ceiling with a rope.
A police official said that preliminary investigation suggested that it was a suicide and a suicide note, believed to have been written by the deceased, has been recovered from the house.
“Mahajan had lost his wife last month. He was sad after this incident. He was not talking to his colleagues and neighbours. He started living in isolation. He seemed to be disturbed and hence may have taken this extreme step,” the official said.
