Industrialist ends life in MP's Katni; health issues may be trigger, say cops

Katni, Jul 4 (PTI) Madhya Pradesh industrialist Ajay Gei allegedly committed suicide in the state's Katni district reportedly due to distress from health problems, police officials said on Friday.

Gei, who is the son of industrialist Darshan Lal Gei, shot himself in the head with his licensed revolver late Thursday night at his home under Madhavnagar police station limits, an official said.

He died on the spot due to excessive bleeding, the official said, adding the body had been sent for post mortem.

We are probing the case from all angles," said Additional Superintendent of Police Santosh Deharia after talking to the deceased's kin. PTI COR MAS BNM
