A CRPF Sub-Inspector allegedly shot dead his senior using his service weapon before killing himself at a bunglow allotted to the Ministry of Home Affairs in south Delhi, police said on Saturday.
According to police, Sub-Inspector Karnail Singh (55) allegedly opened fire at Inspector Dashrath Singh (56) after an argument broke out between them. After firing at the Inspector in their room, Karnail Singh took his own life near the main gate of the bungalow at around 10:30 PM on Friday.
Karnail Singh hailed from Udhampur in Jammu and Kashmir while Dashrath Singh belonged to Rohtak in Haryana.
"The incident at 61, Lodhi Estate is an aberration which seems to have been committed in the spur of the moment. An inquiry has been ordered to establish the facts and will be taken to its logical end," CRPF spokesperson Deputy Inspector General Moses Dhinakaran said.
