RAIPUR: Two Chhattisgarh Armed Force (CAF) jawans were killed and as many injured when their colleague fired at them in a camp in north Chhattisgarh's Balrampur district Wednesday, reported. The accused jawan, Ajay Sidar , was overpowered by other colleagues and is now in police custody.

Balrampur SP Rajesh Agrawal said the fragging took place at Bhutahi camp where CAF 11th Battalion was deployed. According to preliminary information, Ajay had an argument over something 'missing' in the meals and it infuriated him so much that he unslung his Insas rifle and opened fire on his colleagues around 11.30am.

Constable Rupesh Patel died on the spot, and another constable, Sandeep Pandey , succumbed on the way to hospital, the SP said. Constables Ambuj Shukla and Rahul Baghel were admitted to community health care centres in Kusmi. Shukla is in critical condition and was shifted to Ambikapur.
