On receiving information, the police and top officials of CRPF reached the spot. However, the jawan kept firing as someone went to talk to him.

"We tried to establish communication with him but he has been refusing to do so. We are taking all precautions as he is with his wife and daughter. It is suspected that he is upset with something," added Amrita Duhan.

The constable has been identified as Naresh.

The Police is trying to gathering information behind Naresh's anger, added the DCP Jodhpur East.
