SRINAGAR, Oct 21: An Indian soldier shot dead three fellow soldiers at a security camp in Kashmir after an argument before attempting to kill himself, an army spokesman said on Saturday.
The shooting, the latest in a string of such incidents in the strife-torn region, took place on Friday night in Rajouri district, southwest of Srinagar.
“The soldier used his service rifle and killed three of his colleagues. He later shot himself, and was admitted to hospital,” Colonel D.K. Badola, an army spokesman, told Reuters.
Two other soldiers were wounded. Stress levels are high among the hundreds of thousands of Indian police and soldiers serving in Kashmir.
