In a similar incident last year, a CRPF jawan, who had returned to duty after a leave, fatally shot himself with the service weapon of a colleague in Jammu & Kashmir's Budgam area. The paramilitary force had then put out a statement saying he was 'mentally disturbed' and had shot himself in the head with his colleague's service rifle.

The CRPF had added that the jawan had not been assigned any firearm as he was deemed mentally unsound. An official in the para force had said that the jawan was performing the duties of a mess constable.
