Coimbatore: In a shocking incident, a CRPF jawan, who was on security duty near Thudiyalur in Coimbatore district, allegedly committed suicide by shooting himself with a gun over a family dispute.

Jagan (32) hails from Perumalkulam in Thoothukudi district. 

He was engaged in security duty (in the custody of the kottar card guard) at the Central Reserve Training College (CRPF) located at Kathir Naickenpalayam near Thudiyalur. 

He was working for the 77 Battalion A Company.

Meanwhile, a divorce case with his first wife is under trial in court. She got married for the second time last month.

When he opened fire, the bullet went from neck to head. He died on the spot.
