New Delhi: A head constable of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) head constable posted at the Sewa-II Hydroelectric Project unit in Jammu and Kashmir’s (J&Ks) Kathua district allegedly shot dead four of his colleagues in an apparent case of fratricidal violence on Tuesday (September 29), reported The Hindu.

As per preliminary reports, the incident took place around 6.45 p.m. at the power project close to the Himachal border.

After reportedly arguing with his colleagues, the CISF head constable of the 2009 batch charged into an office and allegedly opened fire with an AK-47.

The four injured personnel were subsequently shifted to the NHPC hospital in Himachal Pradesh where they subsequently succumbed.

“The accused head constable has been handed over to the police,” an official told the Hindu.

The official added that CISF is setting up an internal inquiry into the incident.

The police have not disclosed the exact circumstances surrounding the killing. At present, several hydro projects in Jammu and Kashmir are manned by the CISF.
