New Delhi, Sept 19: An NSG Commando allegedly committed suicide during early hours today while being on duty at NSG camp near Palam, officials said. The Commando Dharmendra Rawat, belonging to Purvi Garhwal, was on duty from 4 am to 6 am. At NSG camp when he committed suicide at around 5.50 am with his own weapon, they said. The NSG Director General R S Mooshahary ruled out "professional stress" as the reason behind the suicide by the Commando.
"I am inclined to rule out professional stress as the reason. Many a times people have their individual problems not known to everyone," he told a news agency.

When asked if duty hours or lack of leave could be behind the incident, he said "how can it be. An NSG commando is entitled for 90 days annual leave, out of which this boy availed 75 days leave and he was only expected to do two hours duty in a day".

Mooshahary said the commando Dharmendra Rawat, who committed suicide at 5.50 am in the morning, could be suffering from "personal stress".

"The 26 year-old Rawat got married few months back, so there is every possibility that he might have personal reasons," he added.
