Srinagar, Mar 8 (UNI) Two more jawans died under ''mysterious circumstances'' in the Kashmir Valley today taking the total number of unnatural deaths of security personnel to four in the past 24 hours.
A Border Security Force (BSF) spokesman told UNI that a jawan Navjot Singh, constable driver, was found dead in his room with bullet injuries on his forehead at Arampora in the frontier district of Kupwara.
''We are investigating the matter whether it was a suicide or he has been shot dead by someone,'' he said, adding a case has been registered by the police.
A CRPF spokesman told UNI that head constable Phool Singh of 18 Battalion collapsed at Dalgate camp this morning after the drill.
He was rushed to hospital where he was declared brought dead.
Police have started investigation under section CrPc 174.
Yesterday afternoon a CRPF constable Krishen Singh, a resident of Jammu, of 141 CRPF battalion had shot himself dead with a weapon of another jawan at Kakpora, Pulwama in south Kashmir.
Another constable Showkeen Singh died under ''suspicious circumstances'' in the CRPF camp at Shiraz cinema Khanyar in the down town city yesterday.
Despite the introduction of 'Yoga and Art of living' to help security personnel to cope with mental stress and other family problems, security jawans continue to take extreme steps to end their lives in Jammu and Kashmir.
About a dozen security force personnel have committed suicides in the Kashmir Valley during the past six months. Also a number of security personnel, including senior officers, have been killed by their colleagues in different camps.
In a similar incident, an Army jawan was awarded death sentence by an Army Court here recently for killing Lt Colonel Saket Saxena at Harwan camp here last year.
