21-Y-0 policeman reportedly commits suicide

The Guyana Police Force is mourning the loss of one of its own, Police Constable (23823), Peter Shivraj Harilal, who reportedly committed suicide on Sunday evening after a night out with friends.

Harilal, who resided at Bath Settlement, West Coast Berbice, was stationed as a General Duty rank at the Clonbrook Police outpost, East Coast Demerara.  News Room understands that the young cop was out partying with friends on Sunday night and some of them knew of his intentions to take his own life and tried to convince him otherwise.

However, Harilal committed the act at home after leaving his friends. The News Room understands the young man became perturbed after a photograph of him kissing another man was leaked to social media.

Harilal joined the police force last year.
