Four CISF personnel, including an assistant commandant, were killed in a fratricide at a power project in Kathua, Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday. The men were guarding the Sewa-III project in Mashka village near the Himachal border.
Officials say an argument between two personnel led one to open indiscriminate fire on colleagues. The suspected shooter has been arrested by police. Senior CISF officers have reached the site. Further details are awaited.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The ToI lead is a death count, leaning on the official account and the fratricide label. TNN leads with the arrest, framing closure over the initial shock. Both cite the same argument-but both omit the weapon type, any motive beyond an argument, and the identities of those killed and arrested. The arrested jawan's next statement in custody will matter more than the preliminary altercation story. The CISF's internal inquiry, likely in days, will decide whether this was a momentary flare-up or a deeper grievance.
