MHA orders 2 inquiries into death of CRPF man in Kashmir

NEW DELHI: Two separate inquires have been ordered by the home ministry into the death of a CRPF man in Jammu and Kashmir due to alleged negligence by his superior, who reportedly did not allow the sick jawan to be taken to the nearest medical centre.
A home ministry spokesperson said the CRPF will conduct a court of inquiry into the entire incident in which the company commander of the force was allegedly thrashed by his subordinates following death of their colleague due to illness in Anantnag district.
Separately, the director (medical), who heads the medical wing of the ministry, has been dispatched to Kashmir where the incident had happened. (AGENCIES)
