New
Delhi, India: Officials say five Border Security Force (BSF) employees were
murdered this morning in Punjab's Amritsar after one of them opened fire on his
colleagues indiscriminately. Constable Satteppa SK, the shooter, was one of those
who killed in the tragedy. However, the news agency PTI said that it was
unclear whether he shot himself or was shot by others. Another soldier was
seriously hurt and was taken to the hospital.
The
event occurred at the 144th battalion's campus in the district's Khasa sector,
around 12-13 kilometres from the Attari-Wagah border crossing on the
India-Pakistan international front.
Constable
Sateppa SK allegedly fired his service firearm and shot bullets on five of his
coworkers between 9:30 and 9:45 a.m., according to an officer.
Personnel
in the ranks of constable and head constable have been among the victims.
A
court of inquiry has been ordered to determine the facts, according to the
spokeswoman. Officials did not specify what prompted the accused to shoot at
his coworkers or what prompted him to do so.
According
to sources, senior officers from the border troops have hurried to the scene.
