IAF Sergeant Commits Suicide in Nagpur While on Duty

A tragic incident unfolded at the Headquarters Maintenance Command (HQMC) in Nagpur, where a 36-year-old Indian Air Force (IAF) sergeant reportedly took his own life in the early hours of Wednesday. The deceased, identified as Sergeant Jaiveer Singh, allegedly shot himself in the head with his service INSAS rifle while on duty, raising serious concerns and sending shockwaves throughout the armed forces community.

Sergeant Singh, originally from Santor village in Haryana, had been stationed in Nagpur for over two years. He lived in Vayusena Nagar quarters with his wife and their two children, a son in Class 10 and a daughter in Class 5. Witnesses described him as a dedicated service member, making the incident all the more shocking for those who knew him.

On the night preceding the tragedy, Singh was assigned to guard post number eight. At approximately 1 a.m. on Wednesday, another guard arriving for the night shift discovered Singh slumped over in a chair, suffering from a gunshot wound to the head, with his service weapon positioned between his legs. Upon alerting higher authorities, Gittikhadan police were notified around 2:15 a.m.

Responding to the call, law enforcement arrived at Vayusena Headquarters to find Singh unresponsive, with his AK-103 rifle without a magazine awkwardly positioned between his legs and a visible wound on his forehead. Senior IAF officials, along with medical personnel, were present when a doctor pronounced him dead, prompting the summons of a forensic team to investigate the scene.

Gittikhadan policeโ€™s senior inspector, Kailash Deshmane, stated, โ€œWe recovered an empty shell from the location. Preliminary investigations suggest that Singh had taken his own life. It appears he may have sat on the chair, positioned the rifle between his legs, and then pulled the trigger.โ€ However, the motives behind this drastic action remain unclear.

Following the completion of his post-mortem at Mayo Hospital on Wednesday morning, Singhโ€™s family took his remains back to their hometown in Haryana for last rites. The IAF has expressed its sorrow over the incident, issuing a statement indicating that they are in mourning alongside Singhโ€™s family. They also confirmed that civil police are conducting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death and that the IAF is providing necessary assistance.

As part of the ongoing inquiry, authorities are expected to engage ballistic experts, while family members and others connected to Singh will be interviewed once the funeral proceedings are concluded. This helpless loss has raised questions not just about Singhโ€™s personal struggles, but also about mental health support available for armed forces personnel.
