A paramilitary soldier has killed four of his comrades and injured another inside a camp in central India, an official said Sunday. The trooper turned his gun on his fellow soldiers at around 5:00 pm local time Saturday (1130 GMT) in Bijapur district of Chhattisgarh state. The constable from India's paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) opened fire following a reported altercation.
"He fired on four of his CRPF colleagues, who died on the spot. Another one, an ASI (assistant sub-inspector), was injured in the incident," a Bijapur administrative official told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.
