A Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) head constable posted at the airport here allegedly committed suicide by firing himself from his service rifle.
Surender Singh was deployed at Watch Tower No. 2 of the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport.
Singh allegedly fired a bullet into his chest from an INSAS rifle around half an hour after his duty was over at 1 pm, a CISF statement said here.
He was found inside the driver room near Cargo/Vehicle Gate where the personnel on watch tower duty assemble to board the shift bus for deposit of weapons and debriefing at a CISF unit around 2 kms away.
Singh was taken to the Composite Hospital, BSF, where he was declared brought dead, the statement said adding that prima facie, it seems to be a case of suicide.
