In a shocking 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 was reportedly upset with his colleagues, also took his own life using his service weapon.
The incident took place on Thursday at the CRPF camp in Lamsang under Imphal West District in Manipur. According to reports, the jawan, whose identity has not been revealed, was on duty at the camp when the incident occurred.
Eyewitnesses claimed that the jawan suddenly started firing indiscriminately at his colleagues, leaving two of them dead and eight others injured. The injured personnel were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment, where they are said to be in a stable condition.
After killing his colleagues, the jawan then turned the gun on himself and took his own life. The Manipur Police, who were alerted to the incident, rushed to the scene and took charge of the situation.
Senior officers from the police and the CRPF were also called to the spot to investigate the incident. The motive behind the jawan’s actions is still unclear, but sources suggest that he may have been upset with his colleagues over some personal or professional issue.
This is not the first time that such an incident has occurred in the CRPF. In the past, there have been several cases of CRPF personnel opening fire on their colleagues or taking their own lives due to various reasons.
The CRPF is one of the largest and most prominent paramilitary forces in India, responsible for maintaining law and order in various parts of the country. The force has been involved in several operations, including counter-insurgency and anti-terrorist operations, and has suffered significant casualties in recent years.
The incident in Manipur has sent shockwaves across the country, with many expressing concern over the mental health and well-being of CRPF personnel. The incident also raises questions about the measures that need to be taken to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
The Manipur Police have launched an investigation into the incident and have collected evidence from the scene of the crime. The jawan’s family has been informed of the incident, and an autopsy is being conducted to determine the cause of death.
The CRPF has also launched an internal inquiry into the incident and has promised to take strict action against those responsible. The force has also offered counseling services to the families of the deceased and the injured personnel.
In conclusion, the CRPF jawan’s decision to open fire on his colleagues and take his own life is a tragic and disturbing incident that highlights the need for greater support and care for our armed forces personnel. The incident serves as a reminder of the sacrifices that our soldiers make every day to protect our nation, and the importance of ensuring their well-being and mental health.
