Four soldiers from an Army artillery unit tragically lost their lives in a firing incident that occurred at the Bathinda military station in Punjab during the early hours of Wednesday. The Punjab Police, in collaboration with their military counterparts, is currently investigating the matter and preliminary findings suggest that it was not a terrorist act. The four soldiers, who were in their mid-20s, were asleep when the firing incident took place at approximately 4:30 am near the barracks behind a mess. In response, the Army swiftly deployed quick-reaction teams and secured the area. Army Chief Gen Manoj Pande has reportedly briefed Defense Minister Rajnath Singh on the incident. The Superintendent of Police (Detective) of Bathinda, Ajay Gandhi, who is leading the police investigation, informed the media that 19 empty shells of INSAS rifles were recovered from the scene. According to an Army jawan’s account, two individuals in civilian attire were responsible for the gunfire. T
