CISF jawan opens fire on colleagues, kills 4

[Windjammer]

PATNA: A CISF jawan allegedly opened fire on his colleagues, killing four of them at their unit at a thermal power station in Aurangabad district of Bihar today.

Officials said the incident was reported at about 12:30 AM at the Nabinagar Power Generation Company Ltd (NPGCL) unit in the said district where the force is deployed for security duties to guard the facility.

The accused jawan has been identified as constable Balveer Singh who hails from Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh, while the deceased personnel have been reported to be three personnel in the ranks of Head Constable (HC), and an Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI).

The CISF jawan lost his cool following a dispute over leave and fired from his rifle, Superintendent of Police Dr Satyaprakash said.

Balveer has been arrested, they said.

"Preliminary information states that Balveer opened fire on his other colleagues, using a service rifle, in an alleged fratricide incident. While three were killed in the firing, one another succumbed at a nearby hospital later," they said.

A Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) unit is deployed in the NPGCL unit as part of its mandate to secure the facility.
They said the incident took place when Balveer allegedly used his INSAS rifle to shoot his colleagues who had assembled to leave for the shift change and after the first hit, he was overpowered by others present around.

It is understood that Balveer had come back after a two-month yoga course and had some issues related to leave, they said.
NPGCL is a Joint Venture of the NTPC and Bihar State Electricity Board.

While the SP said senior officials have rushed to the spot, the CISF said a Court of Inquiry has been ordered into the incident.

Anger is the worst enemy, in a matter of seconds the fire of anger engulfs and destroys many lives. Only after the amber cools down do we realize the gravity of the situation.

RIP.

''It is understood that Balveer had come back after a two-month yoga course and had some issues related to leave, they said.''

Seems the yoga therapy is not helping... anyways, R.I.P to the deceased.

So much mess is going on in Indian paramilitary forces these days. Are ITBP and SSB the next ?

First the leak with the food scandal and now this. Good going Indian army.

Nothing justifies murder. What a fool.

There are close to a million paramilitary forces spread all over India mixing with civilians and doing essentially police and sentry duties. Holding them to standards of army discipline would be unfair.

The discipline is amazing.

RIP

You are all the same.

This is a very deep answer. If we ponder over it then indeed we are all the same, our basic requirements are the same.
But after the basic necessities are fulfilled then each and every individual is different, his/her thought process is different.
Not even twins are same.
In the case of this javan his thought process lead him to pull the trigger on his superiors, if someone else was in his shoes then may be the outcome would have been different.

Yep, another Indian who has watched too many Hollywood movies.

Why will he kill a headconstable and ASI for his denied leave, i mean they aren't the ones who deny leave, they are lower ranks themselves.. and issue in the CISF, i mean really? They live with their families as they are deployed in cities itself and they get quarters to live, free medical facilities and all..still they can't control their rage against a decision against their leave application?

Well stated. However, if family quarters/residence is provided to deployed personal (IMO soldiers are not provided with such facility at large but mostly to ranks/officers) then question arises that there was something else that caused the situation but being covered under the leave issue etc. As said, killing co-leagues that they were not authority of leave sanctioning, puts question mark on such statement though the detailed findings can reveal the real issue.
