Meanwhile, the Army base reported the death of another soldier, but said it appeared to be a “suicide attempt” and was unrelated to the four killings. The death occurred on Wednesday evening, but was publicly announced on Thursday.
In addition to eyewitness reports that two men in civilian clothes were seen at the scene, multiple agencies investigating the four killings will also investigate whether “internal competition” among soldiers led to the crime, and whether the crimes may have been were insiders who were officially on holiday at the. time, sources across the military and government said.
In the police complaint on Wednesday, the Army said two men, wearing kurta-pajamas, one holding an INSAS rifle and another wielding an axe, were seen at the scene of the attack.
Also on Wednesday, police said it appeared to be an “internal” incident. Police also questioned the eyewitness account of the attackers wearing “white pajamas”, saying it would have been easier to blend in if they were in uniform.
Police sources said that while three soldiers sustained two bullet injuries each, the fourth sustained one bullet injury.
“Shoulder attack happened at the right leg thigh & the rear end too – he must have been striving to get away,” said one police officer, who did not want to be named.
Additional guards and rapid-response teams have been deployed at the military base, and a special committee may soon be formed to reassess the overall security situation at the base, the sources said. Officers will investigate the need to install additional items.
While the INSAS rifle, which was reported missing along with 28 rounds of ammunition a few days ago, was recovered on Wednesday, police said it was found inside a pit filled with water. “The sniffer dogs couldn’t smell. We hope that the forensic team will be able to use some prints taken from the rifle,” said an official.
It was reported that the weapon was stolen from a guard post not far from the scene of the killings, about half a kilometer from the officers’ mess in the Artillery regiment.
Bathinda Cantt Station House Officer (SHO) Gurdeep Singh said while the killings reportedly took place at around 4.30 am, police were only allowed inside the Army base at around 9 am.
