The autopsy report of a Border Security Force (BSF) jawan, who was found dead under mysterious circumstances in Amritsar, has flagged multiple blunt force injuries on his body. The report has intensified scrutiny into the exact sequence of events leading to his death.
Autopsy Findings
According to sources, the post-mortem examination conducted at a government hospital revealed several contusions and lacerations, particularly on the head, chest, and limbs. The nature of the injuries suggests a possible struggle or assault before death. However, the exact cause of death is yet to be confirmed pending further forensic analysis.
Investigation Underway
The BSF has initiated a detailed inquiry into the incident. Officials are examining the jawan's service records, his last known movements, and interactions with colleagues. A team of forensic experts has been roped in to gather evidence from the spot where the body was discovered.
The deceased, identified as 34-year-old constable Rajesh Kumar, was posted with a BSF battalion in the border district. His body was found near a railway track on the outskirts of the city early Tuesday morning. A passerby alerted the police, who then informed the BSF authorities.
Family Demands Justice
The jawan's family, hailing from a village in Uttar Pradesh, has demanded a thorough investigation and strict action against those responsible. They have expressed suspicion over the official narrative and urged the administration to ensure a fair probe.
Meanwhile, the BSF has assured full cooperation with the local police and has also ordered a separate internal inquiry. The force has extended condolences to the bereaved family and announced an ex-gratia compensation.
The case has once again highlighted the risks faced by security personnel deployed in sensitive areas. Further updates are awaited as the investigation progresses.
