Srinagar (NVI): A soldier posted on the forward post of Line of Control (LoC) in Krishna Ghati sector of Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district was found dead under mysterious conditions today, officials said.

They said that preliminary investigations reveal that the solider has committed suicide but things will be clear only when postmortem will be done.

Officials further added that a soldier posted with the Army’s RR who was deployed at a forward post along the LoC in Krishna Ghati sector in J&K’s Poonch district, was found dead mysteriously.

“The soldier was found dead mysteriously today morning. Investigations have been started to find the cause of death. Initial probe reveals that he has committed suicide but things will be clear once postmortem will be done,” the officials said.

They also informed that a police team has rushed to the spot and a case has been registered. This is the second incident in J&K since morning today. Earlier, a BSF man committed suicide at north Kashmir’s Kupwara district by shooting himself dead with his service riffle.
