Two members of the occupying Indian paramilitary force, who were suffering from psychological problems in two districts of Occupied Kashmir, shot themselves with a government rifle.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Indian Border Security Force (BSF) officer Kundan Ram Kumar in Kupwara district and Rashtriya Rifle 39 Meht Kumar in Poonch district committed suicide with a government rifle.
The deceased died on the spot after which they were shifted to a nearby hospital where the bodies were handed over to the next of kin after necessary procedure. The cause of the suicide could not be ascertained.
It is to be noted that due to low morale and mental stress in Occupied Kashmir, the number of suicides has increased and since 2007, 466 personnel have committed suicide or been killed in clashes.
