Reserve Bank police officer Mahendra Perumal shot himself in the chest during duty on Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Perumal who was on sentry duty, was rushed to Rajiv Gandhi Government Hospital where he was administered with blood and IV fluids.

Last heard, a surgery was performed on him. ‘We have to assess the injury, its severity, depth and extent before we can take up any procedure. He went into coma and collapsed. His blood pressure would have fallen as the bullet had entered his midriff and exited through the back’, said the Resident Medical Officer, Anand Pratap.
