Sikkim cop shoots dead 3 colleagues in New Delhi, surrenders

A Sikkim police team led by ADGP Abhichal has left for New Delhi today to probe the sensational incident where a Sikkim Police personnel shot dead 3 of his colleagues on Monday afternoon.

As per top sources, the post-mortem of the three deceased IRBn jawans will be conducted today.

The shocking incident happened in Delhi’s Haiderpur area where the Sikkim Police personnel were posted.

As per information, accused Lance Naik Prabin Rai shot dead three of his colleagues, who were identified as Lance Nayak Pintso Namgyal Bhutia, constable Indra Lal Chettri and constable Dhan Hang Subba.

It may be mentioned that all the Sikkim Police personnel are part of the India Reserve Battalion. The accused had surrendered before the law and is currently under police custody.

Reportedly, the accused shot dead three colleagues after they allegedly made offensive remarks about his wife. The incident occurred at a water plant in the Haiderpur area.

Special Commissioner of Police (Law & Order) Dependra Pathak said that Rai told the police during initial investigation his three colleagues caused him mental harassment by saying “untoward things” about his wife.

The incident comes just days after two major fratricide incidents in Jammu and Kashmir. An Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) jawan shot at and injured his three colleagues on Saturday before shooting himself dead in Jammu and Kashmir’s Udhampur district.
