Hours after Delhi minister and AAP leader Manish Sisodia was detained for trying to meet the family of the former armyman, who allegedly committed suicide over the OROP issue, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was also "formally detained" by the police this evening.

"I have consumed poison, I am at Jawahar Bhawan," said Subedar Ram Kishen Grewal, 65, in his last phone call to his son, before he died.

Twice today - in the afternoon and then again in the evening- opposition leader Rahul Gandhi was detained by the Delhi police as he tried to meet with the family of the army veteran who committed suicide allegedly over an insufficient pension.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was detained by the police after he tried to meet the relatives of army veteran RK Grewal, who had committed suicide allegedly over an insufficient pension, was released close to midnight on Wednesday.

An army soldier posted at the Mamun Cantonment area in Pathankot allegedly committed suicide by shooting himself with his service rifle on Sunday, police said.

For Lieutenant-Colonel Sankalp Shukla, 35, who was killed in Friday's terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Uri, danger was all too familiar over the years. Seven other armymen had died with him in the suicide attack at the army camp, which comes days before the third phase of the assembly elections in the state.
