A Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) trooper allegedly committed suicide on Monday by shooting himself in Jammu and Kashmir's (J&K) Srinagar city.

Officials said that a CRPF jawan identified as Constable Nirmal Pal Singh allegedly shot himself with his service rifle inside the 61 CRPF battalion camp in Shivpora locality of Srinagar city.

“He died on the spot. The exact cause that forced the jawan to take the extreme step is being investigated. Medico-legal formalities are being completed now”, officials said.

There have been some incidents of security personnel taking the extreme step during their duties in different parts of Jammu and Kashmir, ever since armed insurgency started here in the early 1990s.
