A 59-year-old Chhattisgarh Armed Force (CAF) officer committed suicide on Tuesday by shooting himself with his service weapon in Bastar district, police said on Wednesday.
Kuber Singh, Company Commander of CAF’s 19th Pokhran Battalion, shot himself with his Insas rifle at his camp in Karanpur village in the Nagarnar police station limits, Bastar Senior Superintendent of Police Deepak Jha said. When his colleagues heard the gunshot, they rushed to the barrack and found him dead. Singh was declared dead on arrival by doctors. Why he took this step is being probed, Jha said.
Singh was from Chhatarpur in Madhya Pradesh but his family lived in Bhilai in Durg district.
