Overview
- A 27-year-old Border Security Force constable, identified as Raj Lakshmi, was hit by a bullet believed to have been fired from her own service rifle at the Sushil Border Outpost in the R S Pura sector.
- She was given first aid at the Sub‑District Hospital in R S Pura and transferred for specialised care to Government Medical College Hospital in Jammu.
- Reports differ on the outcome: initial official briefings described her as critically injured, while a later media account said she died; authorities have not released a definitive public confirmation resolving this discrepancy.
- The BSF has launched a formal investigation and officials say it is premature to conclude whether the discharge was accidental or deliberate.
- Public accounts of the incident so far are based on PTI briefings and an auto‑generated story, leaving key facts unverified and raising questions about weapon safety and duty procedures at forward border posts.
