PAC constable dies of gunshot at Sitapur ammunition depot
Lucknow: A 25-year-old constable of the Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) died under mysterious circumstances after suffering a gunshot injury while on duty at the Central Ammunition Depot in Sitapur on Saturday morning. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been constituted to probe the incident. The deceased, Himanshu Kumar of Ishwardev village in Amroha district, was a 2021 batch recruit and was attached to the 24th Battalion in Moradabad. He had been deputed to the Sitapur facility two months ago. According to police, Himanshu was stationed as a sentry at a 20-foot-high watchtower. Around 8.30 am, fellow personnel heard gunshots and rushed to the spot to find him critically injured. He was taken to the district hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead. Preliminary investigation suggests that the shots were fired from his service INSAS rifle and three rounds were fired. While suicide is one line of inquiry, investigators have not ruled out foul play. "At the time of the incident, earbuds were found in his ears. We are reviewing his last phone calls. Given the high security of the ammunition depot, the possibility of unauthorized entry is extremely low," said superintendent of police, Sitapur, Ankur Aggarwal. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Benefits of Trading Bitcoin CFDs IC Markets Learn More Undo A forensic team collected evidence from the site.
