A paramilitary soldier from one of India's elite security units shot dead four of his senior officers on Thursday in an apparent row over leave, police said.

The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) soldier fired indiscriminately at the officers at the barracks in Aurangabad district in eastern India's Bihar state before trying to flee.

"Three died on the spot while one injured officer succumbed to his injuries at a hospital," Satya Prakash, Aurangabad police chief, told AFP.

"He shot 32 rounds before he was overpowered by his colleagues and is suspected to be suffering from some mental illness."

Prakash said the dispute appeared to be over leave.

All the victims were unarmed and were off-duty when the incident took place at a thermal power plant where they were stationed.

The CISF guards the country's most vital civil and government installations including airports, atomic plants and government buildings.

India's security forces have historically had a high incidence of suicides and killings linked to long hours, poor working conditions and inadequate time off.

In 2014, a soldier killed five colleagues before shooting himself in Indian-administered Kashmir after a superior denied him leave.

Then it's a sad incident..

Paramilitary should follow Indian Army model of leaves and treatment, thanks to that Indian Army has the Lowest suicide rate among all proffesional armies which reveal data: USA, Canada, Israel, Turkey, Japan, Russia, South Korea, Australian, France, Germany etc.

Yes Army has very low rate of such phenomenon.We need serious reforms in paramilitary departments & corruption is the main reason what driving to all this..I am sure this govt is taking notice.They have already made auditing team after the Facebook video that was uploaded by BSF soldier..

Bleh..

Our Paramilitary forces like BSF, CRPF now CISF are the major orgs having high suicide rates. I dont understand why they dont just give holidays. In Army a person have to compulsorily take an vacation atleast once in 8 months, failing which the officer handing him will be given notice explaining the rationale even if his sub-ordinate is ready to work 12 months.

They should have a standard of 60 days per year divided into four or 3 or even 2.

Colonial legacy is still very much prevalent in the officer ranks of Indian army, which is to treat NCOs like shit---

Your "Fake News" reply tells how your thinking process is wired. You conclude first and do research later (if research at all), and you are not the only Indian who shows this behaviour.

It's not only the Indians but Pakistanis as well. People join these forums to represent their respective countries and score brownie points over the other side.

Would you include American foreign ministry rep. to the list as he too is babbling about Pakistani bloggers without any research. Last I checked, he never visited Pakistan or asked government of Pakistan for any information and yet he uttered his crap openly into the ears of innocent Americans all so openly.

While you'll be busy talking about his nonsense, you can later visit this forum and talk about Indians and Pakistanis. Then people would want to hear you bit more.
