A somber atmosphere has fallen over the Special Armed Police (SAP) camp in Peroorkada, Thiruvananthapuram, following the tragic discovery of a police trainee found dead on Thursday, September 18, 2025.
The deceased has been identified as Anand, hailing from Keezhpaloor in Aryanad. He was tragically discovered hanging in a washroom within the camp premises.
Anand, who served as the platoon leader for SAP B Company, had reportedly made a prior attempt to end his life just a few days earlier. Following that incident, he was admitted to the Thiruvananthapuram Government Medical College Hospital for care, but was subsequently brought back to the camp.
The exact reasons prompting this suspected suicide are currently under investigation. This heartbreaking event highlights the critical need for mental health support within our institutions.
