A tragic incident has occurred in Bihar where a Special Task Force (STF) jawan died after his service pistol, holstered at his waist, accidentally discharged. The incident took place on Tuesday while the jawan was on duty. According to preliminary information, the government-issued pistol suddenly fired, striking the jawan and causing severe injuries.

Immediately after the incident, fellow jawans and officers rushed the injured jawan to a nearby hospital. Despite the doctors' best efforts, he could not be saved due to the severity of the gunshot wound. The STF unit is in mourning following this unfortunate event.
