The constable has been identified as Naresh, posted in the CRPF training centre for the last three years. He opened fire in the air at 5 pm on Sunday. It has created panic among the residents. Meanwhile, CRPF officers tried to convince him, but he did not agree as he might be under the influence of liquor. In the meantime, his father and brother were called from the Pali district of Rajasthan, but their attempt did not yield any result.
During interaction with his brother he reportedly disclosed that he met with an accident eight months ago. Since then, he keeps losing his cool all of a sudden. Naresh's father tried to convince him over the phone but to no avail. According to police, the constable is having one Insas rifle with 40 rounds of bullets. An Insas rifle person carries two magazines, and each magazine has 20 rounds of bullets. So, far he exhausted eight rounds of bullets, which means he still has 32 rounds of bullets with him.
