New Delhi: An Army soldier posted in the DRDO complex of Delhi's Civil Lines area shot himself dead with his own service rifle on Tuesday.
Harjeet Singh (51) was posted as a guard at the Audio complex for a long time.
He had just ended his duty for the day while the incident took place.
According to sources, "While going to submit his rifle on Tuesday morning at about 10 am, he stopped at a park along the way where he shot himself."
