SRINAGAR (AFP): A soldier of the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) shot his colleague dead in Bandipora district of Indian occupied Kashmir late last night (Monday).

The soldier identified as Chanderban, a resident of Haryana, was shot dead by his colleague in a camp at Mader in Bandipora after an altercation, the Kashmir Media Service reported.

During preliminary investigation by the BSF as well as the police, a BSF constable identified as Ravinder Singh, a resident of Kupwara, was found to be involved in the killing.

Incidents of Indian aggression against residents of IoK are rampant.
