In a shocking and tragic incident, a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawan opened fire at a CRPF camp in Manipur, killing two of his own colleagues on the spot and injuring eight others. In a further act of despair, the jawan then took his own life using his service weapon.
The incident occurred on Thursday at the CRPF camp in Lamsang under Imphal West District in Manipur. According to reports, the jawan, who has not been named, suddenly opened fire at his colleagues without any provocation. Two of his colleagues were killed instantly, while eight others were injured in the firing.
The Manipur Police rushed to the scene following the incident and took control of the situation. Senior officers of the police and CRPF also arrived at the spot to investigate the matter.
The exact reason behind the jawan’s drastic action is still unclear, but it is reported that he was under immense stress and pressure. The jawan, who was a member of the 203rd Battalion of the CRPF, had been serving in the force for several years.
The incident has sent shockwaves throughout the country, with officials and citizens alike expressing their outrage and sadness at the senseless violence.
