A BSF jawan allegedly committed suicide on 9 Janaury by shooting himself in Chhattisgarh's Kanker district, police said.

When the jawan's colleagues heard the gunshot from his barrack, they rushed to the place and found him lying in a pool of blood. He was immediately rushed to a local hospital where he was declared brought dead, the ASP said.

Jaisingh was a native of Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu. The exact reason which prompted him to take the extreme step was yet to be ascertained, Badhai said.

A case has been registered in this connection, he said, adding that further probe is on.
