BHOPAL: A 35-year-old CRPF constable, 35, carried his service rifle home and riddled his wife with bullets in Bhopal early on Thursday. He called up CRPF control room and Dial 100 to notify them about the incident before shooting himself. When police arrived, Ravikant Verma and his wife, Renu, 32, lay dead, while their two minor children were crying in another room. Police impounded the rifle, 8 spent cartridges, and 11 live rounds from the crime spot. They did not find any suicide note. Preliminary probe suggests the incident was caused by domestic dispute, police said. Sources say Verma underwent counselling by police during his posting in Gwalior due to marital issues. CRPF will conduct an internal probe to determine how Verma went home with his service rifle. Security personnel at the CRPF camp gate will be questioned, police said.
