CCpur, May 12 2020:
A BSF Head Constable reportedly shot a subordinate Constable and fired several rounds inside the residence of the Inspector General of STC BSF before killing himself at STC campus, Churachandpur.
The incident which occurred yesterday at about 9.40 am, reportedly left the top tier officials of the border forces inside the training centre in a tizzy as the IG himself appeared to be among the target.
Head Constable Balkishan, a native of Rajathan who is also said to be in charge of guarding the IG fired a bullet from his service Insas Rifle at Constable Rajkumar hitting him on the abdomen.
Thereafter, Balkishan proceeded towards the IG's residence and fired at least two rounds on another Constable who is the cook of the IG but missed him on both counts.
As the Head Constable continued his march towards the IG's room, the IG and his security assistant took cover inside the bathroom.
Though Balkishan fired a round at the bathroom, it didn't hit the duo.
By then, other officials and jawans from the force had surrounded the IG's residence.
On seeing the forces outside, Balkishan shot himself dead, sources said.
The injured Constable was immediately taken to the district hospital and received treatment.
