Chennai Police said the jawan, Jagsheer, and the havildar, Praveen Kumar Joshi, used to have frequent arguments over the former reporting late for duty.


On Monday night, the two again had a heated argument after which Joshi went to bed.

Jagsheer entered Joshi's room and shot him in the early hours of Tuesday.

The gunshots woke up others who rushed to the spot. In the meantime, Jagsheer shot himself with the same rifle used to kill his superior.

Soldier Shoots Army Officer & Self After Altercation on Duty
THE QUINTUPDATED: 1 DAY AGO
INDIA1 min read

After shooting an army officer dead at Pallavaram barrack in Chennai, a soldier then shot himself on Tuesday, 27 August.

An altercation over showing up late for duty had reportedly taken place before the crime, according to Times of India.

Police said that Havildar Praveen Kumar Joshi from Uttarakhand had reprimanded rifleman Jamsheer when he turned up late, and an argument broke out.

A senior official said that the incident took place at around 3 am.

“We suspect that the rifleman was emotionally worked up after the Havildar punished him for his lethargic attitude in duty,” the officer told PTI.

Defence sources said the matter was under investigation.

This is a developing story.
 
Could be cover up for LOC casualties, recently there are lots of accidents and shootings withing Indian Military. Does not seem logical, suddenly having so many accidents etc....if true very sad state of training and professionalism and not to forget moral.
 
Watch you language guys. Better take this debate to your personal facebook accounts. THIS is not the place to do it!
