Officials said that Singh was posted with the 49th battalion of CRPF at Akura, in Mattan, Anantnag district.

They said that soon after Singh fired at himself, his colleagues rushed to the spot and found him in a pool of blood. “They rushed him to the nearby hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead,” the officials said.

A police official said they found a suicide note near the body of Singh that read: “No one should touch my body, I am afraid, I have corona.” A case has been registered and further investigation was taken up in this regard. 

Station House Officer (SHO) Akura, Mattan police station Jazib Ahmed said that they have followed the Covid-19 protocol while dealing with the body of CRPF sub inspector. “His samples have been taken and post mortem conducted. Only results would confirm whether he was a Covid positive,” he said.
