According to Lucknow Police, the Constable was posted at the Secretariat building Gate No 7 on Thursday. Eye witnesses claimed that they heard a shot and saw a Constable lying in a pool of blood and writhing in pain.

A resident of Varanasi, Chaube was residing in Chinhat area of Lucknow along with his family. He shot himself in the chest at 3 pm.
