In automated firearms, burst mode enables the shooter to fire multiple numbers of rounds with a single pull of the trigger. “The incident looks like a suicide case, but we have ordered a strict enquiry into the incident,” said DIG Kuladhar Saikia. It may also be mentioned that Guwahati Police Commissioner Pradip Chandra Haloi stated that Kathar was on duty till 2 pm and was alone during the incident. “We are also examining the possibility that the jawan was killed by accidental firing,” said Haloi.
