New Delhi: Hours after four soldiers were killed in firing inside the Bathinda Military Station in Punjab, another jawan reportedly died of a gunshot wound due to unrelated ‘accidental firing’ at 4:30 pm on Wednesday.“The soldier was on sentry duty with his service weapon. The weapon and cartridge case from the same weapon was found next to the soldier. The gunshot wound was near the right temporal region. He was immediately evacuated to the Military Hospital, but succumbed to his injuries,” the headquarters of the South Western Command said. It further added that it appeared to have been a case of suicide.“There is NO connection whatsoever with the incident that took place at 04:30 AM at Bathinda Military Station [referring to the killing of the four soldiers early on Wednesday],” the SW Command said.According to The Tribune, Cantt police station received a complaint late last night and said that is appears to be a case of accidental firing, but the police are probing the matter.Meanwhile, more than 24 hours after four jawans were killed in a military barrack in Bathinda on Wednesday, April 9, a clear picture has still not emerged about the incident. While the first information report (FIR) registered by police in Punjab says that the assailants were dressed in kurta-pyjamas and fled into the forest that is adjacent to the cantonment, the cops have ruled out a terror angle.Army and police officials also admit that a stolen INSAS [Indian Small Arms System] rifle – the standard infantry weapon of the Indian armed forces for decades – might have been used to kill the jawans. This has only added to the mystery surrounding the entire episode.You can read more about what we do and don’t know about that case here.
