CRPF Jawan Opens Fire; Kills 2 Colleagues & Injures 8 Before Killing Self in Manipur
A tragic incident took place on Thursday at a CRPF camp in Lamsang under Imphal West District in Manipur, leaving a trail of blood and destruction in its wake. A CRPF jawan, reportedly in a state of distress, opened fire at his own colleagues, killing two of them on the spot and injuring eight others before taking his own life.
According to reports, the jawan, who has been identified as a 30-year-old man, was on duty at the CRPF camp when the incident occurred. The exact reasons behind his actions are still unclear, but it is believed that he was under immense stress and pressure, which ultimately led him to commit such a heinous act.
The incident occurred at around 9:30 am, when the jawan suddenly took out his service weapon and started firing indiscriminately at his colleagues. Two of his fellow jawans were killed on the spot, while eight others were injured in the firing. The injured jawans were rushed to a nearby hospital, where they are undergoing treatment.
As the news of the incident spread, senior officers of the police and CRPF rushed to the spot to take control of the situation. The police have launched an investigation into the incident and are trying to gather more information about the jawan’s background and the circumstances leading up to the tragedy.
The Manipur Police have confirmed the incident and released a statement saying, “A CRPF jawan opened fire killing two of his own CRPF colleagues on the spot and injuring eight others at a CRPF camp in Lamsang under Imphal West District in Manipur. Later, he also committed suicide by using service weapon.”
This incident is a stark reminder of the pressures and challenges faced by our armed forces personnel, who often have to deal with traumatic situations and stressful environments. While the exact reasons behind the jawan’s actions may never be fully understood, it highlights the need for better support systems and mental health services for our troops.
The CRPF has also released a statement condemning the incident and expressing condolences to the families of the victims. The jawan’s family has been informed of the incident and is said to be in a state of shock.
This incident is a sobering reminder of the risks and challenges faced by our armed forces personnel, who often put their lives on the line to protect our country and its citizens. It is our duty to ensure that they receive the support and care they need to cope with the pressures of their job, and to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future.
As the investigation into the incident continues, the families of the victims and the jawan who committed the act will be left to pick up the pieces and try to make sense of the senseless tragedy that has befallen them. Our thoughts and prayers are with them, and with all those affected by this incident.
