CRPF Jawan Opens Fire; Kills 2 Colleagues & Injures 8 Before Killing Self in Manipur
In a shocking 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 tragic turn of events, the jawan later took his own life using his service weapon. The incident occurred at the CRPF camp in Lamsang under Imphal West District in Manipur.
According to reports, the jawan, who has been identified as a 30-year-old constable, was deployed at the camp along with his fellow colleagues. However, without any apparent provocation, he suddenly opened fire at his colleagues, killing two of them on the spot and injuring eight others. The injured personnel have been rushed to nearby hospitals for medical attention.
As the situation unfolded, senior officers of the police and CRPF rushed to the spot to investigate the incident. The jawan, who was still armed with his service weapon, allegedly took his own life shortly after the shooting.
The reason behind the jawan’s sudden outburst of violence is still unclear, and an investigation is underway to determine the circumstances leading up to the incident. The authorities have launched a probe to gather more information about the incident and are also looking into the jawan’s background to understand what could have driven him to commit such a heinous act.
The incident has sent shockwaves across the country, with many expressing their condolences to the families of the victims. The CRPF has also issued a statement condemning the incident and extending its condolences to the families of the deceased.
The Central Reserve Police Force is a premier paramilitary force of India, responsible for maintaining law and order in the country. The force has been involved in numerous operations across the country, including counter-insurgency operations in sensitive regions like Jammu and Kashmir and the North East.
In recent years, there have been several instances of CRPF personnel being involved in violent incidents. In 2019, a CRPF jawan was accused of opening fire at a police station in Chhattisgarh, killing three police personnel. In another incident in 2020, a CRPF jawan was arrested for allegedly killing his wife and two children in a fit of rage.
The incident in Manipur has raised questions about the mental health and well-being of CRPF personnel, who are often deployed in challenging and high-stress environments. The force has been under pressure to improve the living and working conditions of its personnel, and the incident has highlighted the need for greater attention to be paid to the mental health and well-being of CRPF personnel.
In conclusion, the incident in Manipur is a tragic reminder of the complexities and challenges faced by CRPF personnel, who are often called upon to perform high-risk duties in difficult environments. While the authorities are investigating the circumstances leading up to the incident, it is essential that we also take a closer look at the living and working conditions of CRPF personnel and strive to create a more supportive and engaging environment for them.
