A Border Security Force (BSF) jawan killed three colleagues by shooting with his service weapon before killing himself early on Sunday at a border outpost at Maguruli in Unakoti district, police said.

Officer-in-charge of Irani police station, Swapan Debbarma said, a constable — Sishu Pal — came to deposit his service rifle to head Constable Bijoy Kumar at around 1 am after his duty got over and suddenly opened fire at Kumar, killing him on the spot. The border outpost is located 185 kms away from state capital Agartala.

Rinku died at the Unakoti district hospital here and Jadav was shifted to ILS hospital at Agartala,” Debbarma told reporters.
