Gurgaon: A National Security Guard (NSG) commando lost his life after sustaining a gunshot wound during a training exercise at the force's Manesar campus on Friday, sources confirmed. The deceased, identified as Constable Rahul Singh Jaggi (32), was a resident of Roorkee in Uttarakhand.
Details of the Incident
According to sources, Jaggi was participating in a combat firing session when he suffered the fatal injury. The family has been informed following standard procedures, and local police have been notified and are conducting an investigation. Despite being rushed for medical assistance immediately after the incident, Jaggi could not be revived.
Police Investigation and Autopsy
Police suspect the injury may have been accidental. A senior police officer stated, “Details of the incident are being examined. The body has been shifted to the mortuary, and the family was informed.” An autopsy has been ordered, though the report is pending. An internal inquiry is also expected to determine how the injury occurred and whether safety protocols were followed.
Official Response
Repeated attempts to reach the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), and Station House Officer (SHO) of Manesar were unsuccessful. The NSG, headquartered in Manesar, had not issued an official statement at the time of this report. Efforts to contact senior officials for confirmation and further details also failed.
This tragic incident highlights the risks inherent in high-intensity training exercises. The NSG, known for its elite counter-terrorism operations, maintains rigorous training standards. The internal inquiry will likely focus on adherence to safety measures and whether any procedural lapses contributed to the accident.
As the investigation proceeds, the NSG community and the nation mourn the loss of a dedicated commando. Further updates are expected once the autopsy report and inquiry findings are released.
