This data is not from the Army, its from the Armed POLICE force.
Its the combined data from CRPF, BSF, CISF, ITBP, SSB, NSG, and Assam Rifles.
CRPF has
1,44,418 personnel
BSF has
2,70,363 personnel
CISF has
1,48,371 personnel
ITBP has
89,432 personnel
SSB has
94,261 personnel
NSG has
10,000 personnel
Assam Rifles has
65,143 personnel
That would be a total of 8,21,988 personnel. And of that a total of 135 personnel committed suicide in 2022.
i.e 16 men per 1,00,000. Same data for US army is 22 men per 1,00,000 and 30 men per 1,00,000 in veterans.
This is a problem the world over.
13 out of every 100,000 people die by suicide in the general population –
that number increases to 17 out of 100,000 for police officers.
Researchers are attributing these statistics to the
unique combination of easy access to deadly weapons, intense stress, and human devastation that police are exposed to on a daily basis.
