A Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawan allegedly killed himself and his wife, and left his sister-in-law injured at a village on the outskirts of Jammu on Sunday morning.
He was posted at the CRPF sector headquarters in Ban Talab from where he had gone home. This morning, he shot his wife and sister-in-law before turning the weapon on himself. While the couple died on the spot, his sister-in-law suffered injuries on her foot. She was taken to GMC hospital from where she has been referred to military hospital in Satwari because her husband is an army personnel, “ said the spokesman.
He said the CRPF jawan had an argument with his family early in the morning. As tempers ran high, he opened fire from his service weapon. His eight-year-old daughter was also present at the spot. She is safe. An inquiry has been ordered into the incident.
