A Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) jawan stationed at Surat International Airport died by suicide on Saturday by shooting himself with his service weapon. The incident took place in the airport washroom around 2:10 p.m., police said.
Kishan Singh, a 32-year-old from Jaipur, was deployed at the airport as part of his CISF duties. According to police, Mr. Singh shot himself in the stomach with his service rifle. “He was rushed to a private hospital where doctors declared him brought dead,” said police inspector NV Bharwad.
The motive behind this extreme step is under investigation, police said. The washroom, where Singh took the fatal step, was quickly cordoned off as part of the ongoing investigation. The incident caused widespread panic among airport staff.
The CISF, a paramilitary force responsible for securing airports across India, has not yet released an official statement on the matter.
