Times of India reports that a Junior Commissioned Officer allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself from a ceiling fan in his barrack on the outskirts of the city, the third such incident involving Armymen in Jammu region in eight days.
Naib Subedar V S V Naidu committed suicide at a military station in Domana area, defence ministry spokesman Lt Col Biplab Nath said.
He said that the reason behind Naidu taking the extreme step is not known immediately. The JCO had rejoined duty recently after a three-month leave.
A court of inquiry has been ordered by the Army authorities in this regard, he said.
This is third suicide by army personnel in the region in the past eight days and all of the three had returned after availing long leave.
JCO Naib Subedar Ganga Ram of 49 Rashtriya Rifles committed suicide by shooting himself at an army barrack in Mendhar belt of Poonch district on March 19.
Sepoy Raghubir Singh, posted at the forward defence location at Jallas near the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch district, committed suicide while on duty on March 21.
Hope the officials investigate these incidents sincerely to make sure that such incidents don't reccur.Instead of committing suicide,these men should have chosen to fight for the Country and in that process if they had become martyrs,atleast their families would have had the satisfaction of knowing that they died for the Nation.Sure,still,the personal loss will be the same for the family members..
But then the Country would have looked at them differently..
