Patna: The CRPF jawan, who fired at himself after gunning down a national-level woman kabaddi player, succumbed of his injuries here, officials said today.
Jaswant Singh, who was critically wounded, died yesterday at the Patna Medical College Hospital, Superintendent of the hospital O P Choudhary said.
He had shot dead Manisha (21), near Bahadurpur railway crossing here, from his AK-47 on February 9 after she refused to share her mobile number with him. The CRPF man later fired at himself.
Manisha's family, who are natives of a village in Shimla district in Himachal Pradesh, had yesterday taken her body to the state for cremation.
Singh was posted at the CRPF camp at Moin-ul-Haq Stadium here, where Manisha, who was also a railway employee, had gone to attend practice sessions for the 34th National Games in Jharkhand beginning February 12.
The jawan of the 131st CRPF Battalion was a resident of Rajasthan.
Expressing shock over killing, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had said the state government would ask the CRPF headquarters to take immediate steps to withdraw its camps from the stadium and colleges in Bihar.
