CRPF Jawan Opens Fire; Kills 2 Colleagues & Injures 8 Before Killing Self in Manipur
In a shocking and tragic incident, a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawan opened fire at a camp in Manipur, killing two of his own colleagues on the spot and injuring eight others. The jawan, who is yet to be identified, committed suicide by using his service weapon, according to Manipur Police.
The incident occurred on Thursday at the CRPF camp in Lamsang, which falls under the Imphal West District in Manipur. The jawan, who was part of the security forces stationed at the camp, suddenly opened fire at his colleagues without any apparent provocation.
“We received information about the incident and rushed to the spot. Unfortunately, two of our jawans were killed on the spot, and eight others were injured,” said a senior officer of the Manipur Police.
The injured jawans were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment, where their condition is said to be stable. The police and senior officers of the CRPF were immediately summoned to the scene to investigate the incident and take control of the situation.
The motive behind the jawan’s sudden outburst of violence is still unclear, and an investigation into the matter has been launched. The police are trying to piece together the events leading up to the incident and are questioning the jawan’s colleagues to gather more information.
The CRPF has issued a statement expressing its shock and grief over the incident. “The CRPF is deeply saddened by the unfortunate incident and extends its condolences to the families of the deceased jawans,” the statement read.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the security forces and the people of Manipur, who are still trying to come to terms with the gravity of the situation. The CRPF jawan’s sudden act of violence has raised questions about the mental health and well-being of security forces personnel, who are often deployed in high-stress environments.
The Manipur Police have launched a thorough investigation into the incident and are working to identify the jawan’s motives and gather more information about the events leading up to the shooting. The police are also providing counseling and support to the families of the deceased and the injured jawans.
The CRPF has also announced an internal investigation into the incident and has assured that all possible measures will be taken to prevent such incidents in the future.
As the investigation continues, the people of Manipur and the security forces are left to grapple with the devastating consequences of the incident. The incident serves as a grim reminder of the dangers and challenges faced by security forces personnel, who risk their lives every day to protect the nation.
