NEW DELHI, 09 November 2021, (TON): Authorities said “an Indian paramilitary soldier shot dead four of his colleagues and injured three more in the central Chhattisgarh state.”
The shooter and the victims were from India’s Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and the incident took place at a camp in Chhattisgarh’s Sukma district, some 400 kilometers (248 miles) from the state capital Raipur.
A statement issued by a CRPF spokesman in New Delhi identified the shooter as Constable Reetesh Ranjan and said he has been arrested.
The statement said “prima facie it seems that due to some emotional stress leading to sudden psychological disbalance, Ranjan lost his control and in a fit of rage opened fire on his colleagues.”
The local police have started an investigation into the case and all legal actions will follow. CRPF has ordered an inquiry to ascertain the cause of incident and suggest remedial measures.
