It seems everything was not going well in the Delhi Traffic Police department in South district. Few days before Sub Inspector (SI) Mahesh Yadav posted at Defence Colony Traffic Circle committed suicide (on last Friday), allegedly blaming his boss Amit Roy, ACP (Traffic), South district for harrasment, another unsavory incident took place. Sources say there was an ungly spat between Traffic Inspector of Defence Colony circle Neeraj Kumar and ACP Roy over the wireless set. The verbal exchange between the two were overheard by several other officials. Since Neeraj Kumar was immediate boss of Mahesh, sources say, allegation of harrassment against Roy has gained ground in the department.

It is interesting to note that Delhi Police has maintained that no suicide note was found at Yadav’s Hari Nagar residence, but official sources say that Mahesh had written a suicide note. Due to the controversial nature of the suicide note, the Delhi Police thought it best to keep it under wraps. Sources say that Mahesh, in his suicide note, heaped the entire blame on ACP (Traffic/South) Amit Roy.

Meanwhile, the Vigilance had started the enquiry into the allegations against Roy. All five traffic Inspectors of South district were asked to give their statements. Mahesh was found hanging from the ceiling fan on Friday morning at his Hari Nagar residence. His wife, Kavita, whom he married in 2000, had alleged in a written complaint to the local police that ACP used to humiliate Mahesh quite a lot. She said that ACP used to put pressure on Mahesh to raise a money everyday. She also said that Mahesh was looking visibly disturbed for the past few days and used to have long discussions about the unethical practices prevailing in the force.

There was a huge controversy regarding after this as the family members of Mahesh Yadav refused to claim the dead body. The family wanted that a case of abetment to suicide be registered against ACP Roy. Only after full assurance of a proper vigilance enquiry given by Commissioner Dr K.K. Paul on Saturday, did the family members claim the body.
