The bodies of two policemen were found in Jammu and Kashmir's Udhampur district on Sunday and reports suggest that one of them killed the other with an AK-47 assault rifle before he allegedly killed himself with the same weapon.

The two policemen along with another colleague were travelling from north Kashmir's Sopore to the Subsidary Training Centre (STC) Talwara in Reasi district of Jammu region when the incident took place.

The incident took place inside a police van where their bullet-riddled bodies were found lying. The van was parked near the Kali Mata temple in Rehembal area of Udhampur around 6.30 am.

The officials told PTI that they assume the head constable opened fire at the driver over an argument and later killed himself.

The third policeman who is said to be a selection grade constable, present in the vehicle has reportedly escaped unhurt and is currently being questioned.

Senior Superintendent of Police, Udhampur, Amod Ashok Nagpure confirmed that the accused used his AK 47 assault rifle in the firing.

“They were posted in Sopore and belonged to Kashmir. The accused shot dead his colleague before killing himself,” the officer told PTI, quoting the preliminary information.

Earlier the police said in a statement that, "Today, at about 6.30 am, Police Station Rehembal received an information that two policemen from Sopore travelling towards STC Talwara in a department vehicle have suffered bullet injuries due to firing.

"Initial investigation reveals that it is a case of fratricide and suicide. Senior police officers have reached the spot and investigation is underway," it said.
