In a shocking and tragic incident, a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawan opened fire at a CRPF camp in Lamsang, Imphal West District, Manipur, killing two of his own colleagues on the spot and injuring eight others. The incident took place on Thursday, leaving the entire nation in a state of shock and grief.
According to reports, the jawan, who has not been named yet, used his service weapon to carry out the heinous act. After killing two of his colleagues, he also took his own life. The Manipur Police rushed to the scene following the incident, and senior officers from both the police and CRPF were also present at the spot.
The incident has sent shockwaves across the country, with investigators already initiating an inquiry into the matter. The motive behind the jawan’s actions is still unclear, but officials are working to uncover the reasons behind this tragic event.
The incident occurred at around 9:30 am on Thursday, when the jawan suddenly opened fire at the CRPF camp. The camp, located in Lamsang, is a key base for the security forces in the region. The jawan, who was part of the camp’s team, used his service weapon to carry out the attack, firing at random targets.
The victims, who have been identified as Havildar Rakesh Kumar and constable Mahesh Kumar, were both killed on the spot. Eight others, including several jawans and officers, were injured in the attack. The injured were rushed to the hospital, where they are undergoing treatment.
The Manipur Police, along with the CRPF, has launched an investigation into the incident. Senior officers from both forces are working together to uncover the reasons behind the jawan’s actions. The police have also collected evidence from the crime scene and are questioning witnesses to piece together the events leading up to the attack.
The incident has raised concerns about the mental health of security forces personnel, particularly those serving in conflict zones. The stress and trauma of serving in areas beset by conflict and insurgency can take a toll on even the strongest of individuals.
The CRPF, which is one of the largest security forces in the country, has faced several incidents of self-inflicted harm by its personnel in recent years. While the exact reasons behind such incidents are often complex and multifaceted, experts point to the high level of stress and pressure that security forces personnel often face.
In the aftermath of the incident, the CRPF has promised to provide support to the families of the victims and to the injured jawans. The force has also announced an inquiry into the incident, with the aim of identifying the reasons behind the jawan’s actions and taking steps to prevent such incidents in the future.
As the investigation into the incident continues, the nation is left to grapple with the shocking news of a CRPF jawan opening fire on his own colleagues, killing two and injuring eight. The incident is a stark reminder of the human cost of conflict and the importance of supporting our security forces personnel, who risk their lives every day to keep our nation safe.
