He approached another police sub-inspector and asked him for his service revolver to click pictures with. The other PSI and Finavia worked together at Navsari rural police and so he did not suspect anything and gave him the weapon for a photo op at the venue. But immediately after that he (Finavia) shot himself in the head. The reasons are unknown. His body was taken to Rajpipla civil hospital.”

A case of accidental death has been registered at Kevadia police station. Finavia is survived by his wife and daughter.
