The untimely death of constable Sameer Kumar in Kishanganj has cast a pall of gloom over the police lines. His wife, Pooja Kumari, was inconsolable, crying out 'Bugi ke Papa, where have you gone…' in front of his coffin, moving everyone present to tears. She expressed profound grief over losing her husband and deep concern for the future of their two children.

Sameer Kumar, who was deployed in Dial 112's ERV unit, reportedly died from a gunshot wound from his service revolver, suspected to be a case of suicide. A UD (Unnatural Death) case has been registered at the Town Police Station, and an investigation has commenced. Authorities are awaiting the FSL (Forensic Science Laboratory) and post-mortem reports to further the inquiry. Police stated that all evidence from the scene and other relevant aspects are being thoroughly investigated, with the FSL report expected to provide crucial leads.

This incident is not the first of its kind in the Kishanganj Sadar police station area. Approximately 10 months prior, on December 9, 2025, a female constable, Priyanka Kumari, 27, from Islampur, Nalanda, was found dead, hanging in her rented accommodation in Dumaria Bhatta, Sadar police station area. She was serving as a reserve guard at the Sadar Police Station. At that time too, forensic teams collected evidence, and police investigated the incident as a suspected suicide.
