Family of dead SSB jawan demands probe

Family of dead SSB jawan demands probe
Greater Noida: The Jewar-based family of an SSB jawan who allegedly shot dead his senior officer in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kulgam district before killing himself using the same service rifle on July 6, suspect the sequence of events and has demanded a thorough probe.
The body of the constable reached Jewar around 9 pm and was cremated late on Wednesday night.
Suresh Chand Sharma, the father of SSB jawan Aman Sharma, told TOI that they suspect the sequence of events.
“In the pictures, it can be seen that my son’s body was lying in a pool of blood, while there was no blood around the body of his senior officer lying next to him,” he said.
“Moreover, the rifle is placed near the senior officer’s body even as we were told that it was Aman who had first shot him at a court complex in Kulgam. If officials are to be believed, the rifle should have been placed near Aman and not near ASI Sandeep (the senior officer). Further, the crime scene looked like as if Sandeep’s body was placed there,” he alleged.
Aman’s family has also given a complaint to the SSB officials and at the Jewar police station.
“We will soon give a complaint to the Jewar MLA and the Gautam Budh Nagar MP,” Suresh said.
A spokesperson for the SSB, however, told TOI that the matter is now being inquired into by the J-K Police.
