CAF Constable Dies by Suicide at Security Camp in Chhattisgarh's KondagaonPreviousNext

A Chhattisgarh Armed Force constable, Jogendra Netam, allegedly shot himself dead with his INSAS service rifle at a security camp in Kondagaon district on June 8. He was on duty under Urandabeda police station limits. Police indicated the suicide may be linked to personal stress, with a formal investigation underway. This is reportedly the first such case among security personnel in the Bastar region since it was declared free of armed Maoist presence on March 31.
