A 46-year-old defence security personnel, R K Singh from Bihar, passed away on September 11 at the National Defence Academy (NDA) in Pune, days after sustaining a gunshot wound to the neck. Singh was part of the Defence Security Corps platoon at the NDA. Upon discovering the wound, Singh was taken to a military hospital. Senior Inspector Raghvendra Kshirsagar, in charge of the Uttamnagar police station, stated that initial findings suggest the gunshot wound was caused by Singh's service rifle.

A Court of Inquiry has been ordered to determine the circumstances surrounding his death. The Government Railway Police, Pune, are currently probing the case.
