Around 2,500 chickens died in a span of three days following an outbreak of a "mysterious disease" in the poultry farms of Konnur, Madanapuram mandal of the Wanaparthy district.
"The deceased was a 20-year-old youth. The deceased's father works in the Special Protection Unit of Mumbai Police. He committed suicide by shooting himself," said Mumbai Police.
The police officials are currently present at the spot and they have registered a First Information Report (FIR) in this regard. An investigation is underway in the case.
The alleged assault took place during a protest at the camp over the suspected food poisoning on December 23 night. The protest escalated, leading a group of individuals to storm the camp and assault the officer.
