A jawan of Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force (ITBP) reportedly committed suicide by shooting himself with his service gun, in the insurgency riddled Rajnandgaon, a senior police officer said on Saturday.
The deceased identified as Constable Rajendra Das posted in Manpur camp of ITBP shot himself with AK-47 gun. Das native of Himachal Pradesh had returned from leave recently, Superintendent of Police Rajnandgaon, P Sundar Raj informed.
“The incident happened in the morning hours at the camp. After hearing the gun shot ITBP members rushed toward Das and found him lying in pool of blood. Das suffered immediate death,” the SP said adding no suicide note was found at the spot.
Paramilitary personnel in the camp informed that Das was disturbed after returning from leave and it seems that some family tension could have provoked him to take the extreme step, SP added. A case has been registered in this connection and probe has begun.
