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 camp in Manipur, killing two of his own colleagues on the spot and injuring eight others. In a tragic turn of events, the jawan then took his own life using his service weapon.
The incident occurred at the CRPF camp in Lamsang under Imphal West District in Manipur on Thursday. According to reports, the jawan, who has been identified as a senior constable, suddenly went berserk and started firing at his colleagues without any provocation.
The news of the incident sent shockwaves across the region, with senior officers of police and CRPF rushing to the spot to take stock of the situation.
As per the reports, the jawan, who has been identified as a senior constable, was part of a team that was stationed at the camp. The reason behind his sudden outburst of violence is still unclear, but sources suggest that he might have been facing some personal issues or work-related stress that led to the tragic incident.
The injured personnel have been rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment, where their condition is said to be stable. The families of the deceased personnel have been informed, and the authorities are providing them with necessary support and assistance during this difficult time.
The Manipur Police have taken charge of the investigation and are trying to piece together the events that led to the incident. The authorities are also conducting a thorough inquiry to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the tragedy.
This incident is a grim reminder of the high levels of stress and pressure that law enforcement personnel often face while performing their duties. It is essential for the authorities to provide them with adequate support, resources, and mental health services to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
The CRPF has been involved in various operations across the country, including counter-insurgency and peacekeeping missions. The force has been instrumental in maintaining law and order in several regions, and its personnel have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
In recent years, there have been several instances of CRPF personnel facing stress, anxiety, and depression, which has led to a few cases of suicide and self-harm. The authorities have been working to address these issues, but more needs to be done to provide support and care to these brave men and women who put their lives on the line every day to protect the nation.
As the investigation into the incident continues, the families of the deceased and injured personnel are left to pick up the pieces and try to make sense of this senseless tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with them, and we hope that justice is served in this case.
