Raipur: A Chhattisgarh Armed Force (CAF) jawan allegedly committed suicide by shooting himself with his service weapon at his camp here, police said today.


The constable Ramji Ram Netam (28) belonging to 9th battalion of CAF ended his life by shooting himself with his

When Netam's colleagues heard the gunshot from his barrack they rushed to the spot and found him lying in the
pool of blood.

Immediately, he was rushed to a local hospital where he was declared brought dead, the CSP said.
