Srinagar: An Indian soldier of 24 Rashtriya Rifles was killed in what is described as an accidental firing at Mansbal camp in Ganderbal district of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the soldier identified as Constable Chotu Kumar, who was part of the Special Quick Action Team (QAT), was travelling in a military truck from Srinagar to Bandipora. Upon reaching the Mansbal camp, his service rifle (AK-47) reportedly went off
\nwhen he jumped from the vehicle. The bullet struck him below the chin, killing him on the spot.<\/p>\n

The incident once again highlights the poor safety standards and lack of professionalism prevalent among Indian troops deployed in the occupied territory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
