A dramatic incident unfolded at the Udyambag police station in Belagavi city when a constable reportedly staged a suicide attempt over a duty change. The constable, identified as Mudakappa Udagatti, sparked chaos when he protested a change in his duty assignment.
Mudakappa, who had returned from a two-day leave, was reassigned to a new post. When questioned about his reluctance to report to the new location, he created a scene, claiming he would consume poison.
The stress of the incident reportedly caused Inspector Patil to suffer a sudden drop in blood pressure, requiring his admission to a private hospital near Yellur.
Upon learning of the turmoil, ACP Shekarappa of Khadebazar visited the Udyambag police station to gather details from the staff. The Police Commissioner, Yada Martin, was also briefed on the incident.
