Military Officer Shoots Dead His Superior

-

An Indian soldier shot dead his superior after he was warned against using a mobile phone while on duty in India-administered Kashmir.

Reports obtained on the incident stated that Maj. Shikhar Thapa had advised the soldier for using his phone during work hours and the screen of the smartphone was damaged as he tried to confiscate it.

According to military sources, a heated altercation followed and the soldier fired at the officer with his automatic rifle.

The senior officer died soon after of fatal gunshot wounds.

Incidents of soldiers killing their colleagues are not uncommon in India, particularly in Kashmir where the Indian forces are battling a violent separatist insurgency.

News sources familiar with this development had reported about three cases of fatricide, a soldier killing a fellow soldier or a superior in 2016, the Defence Ministry said in a statement placed in Parliament in March.

"In 2016, 101 soldiers had committed suicide while in February 2014, a soldier gunned down five colleagues before shooting himself, also in Kashmir.

"In the past, such incidents of shootings and suicides by troops have been blamed by army officials on soldiers’ stress due to hostile condition and long separations from their families" E-conner gathered.
