Kozhikode, May 13: In a bizarre incident, a Border Security Force (BSF) Inspector deployed for elections duty in Kerala was gunned down by a jawan of the same force following an argument over leave late last night.

The deceased has been identified as Ram Gopal Meena, 45, of Rajasthan. The incident took place at the BSF camp at Kottakkal Islamic Academy School at around 11,30 p.m.

A police team led by the Vadakara DYSP has launched a hunt for BSF jawan, Umesh Pal Yadav of Uttar Pradesh, who escaped with the rifle after the incident.

Unofficial sources said that a duel broke between the jawan and the Inspector over granting of leave to the former. The incident took place at the BSP camp where the jawan was staying for election duty.

At least six bullets would have pierced his body. The body of the victim was kept at the Vadakara Cooperative Hospital. It would be released only after an inquest and post mortem on Friday.

According to police, the accused uploaded a photograph of a hotel on the Instagram page and alleged that accused persons in a murder case under the Bajpe police jurisdiction were being given “royal treatment” by the police, including being served beef meals daily from the hotel.

The post further accused the police of supporting criminals, misusing their authority, and betraying public trust. Police said the content was provocative in nature and aimed at inciting public outrage against the police.
