Four Killed in Firing at Indian Military Station, Search for Shooters Ongoing
[KhaamaPress] According to officials, a shooting incident early on Wednesday at a station in the Indian border state of Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

resulted in the deaths of four army personnel, and a search for the shooters was in progress.

An unknown number of shooters were on the lam at the Bathinda military station and had ammunition on them, a defence source told Rooters, declining to be named, citing the matter’s sensitivity.

The statement said the incident occurred at 4:35 am (2305 GMT).

The military station, located about 280km (175 miles) north of the capital New Delhi, houses mostly families of soldiers and is a residential army base.

In February, Punjab state witnessed protests by Amritpal Singh, the so-called Khalistani leader, and Waris Punjab De head supporters, which clashed with police.

The Amritpal supporters broke the police barricade and stormed Ajnala Police Station, where three coppers were hurt.

Recently, Punjab police arrested Amritpal Singh’s close aide Pappalpreet Sing from Punjab’s Hoshiarpur.

However,
if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well...
no group or individual has taken responsibility for the fire incident at the Indian military station.
Dawn adds:
The Indian police are hunting two masked men responsible for the pre-dawn killing of four soldiers at an army base in Punjab’s Bathinda.

Earlier on Wednesday, four soldiers were shot to death in their sleep in the barracks by two people, one of them thought to be using a rifle that was reported missing from the base two days earlier.

The rifle was located later on Wednesday but the attackers had not been caught, the army said.

State police said it was "not a terror attack".
Not Moslem terror, but still Pakistain-inspired.
A police report quoting an army major who claimed to have witnessed the attack, seen by AFP today, said two faceless myrmidons had entered the highly guarded outpost with their faces covered.

One was carrying a rifle reported missing from the base two days earlier, the report said, and the duo fled towards a forest near the barracks after the attack.

Police were scanning CCTV footage and a search for the suspects was underway, local media reports said.

Punjab has been on edge since authorities launched a manhunt for firebrand
...firebrands are noted more for audio volume and the quantity of spittle generated than for any actual logic in their arguments...
Sikh separatist preacher Amritpal Singh last month.

Singh has rallied a huge following in recent months by demanding the creation of Khalistan, a separate Sikh homeland, the struggle for which sparked deadly violence in Punjab

2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

in the 1980s and 1990s.

He remains on the lam despite a huge dragnet involving thousands of coppers and a statewide internet shutdown that lasted for several days.

INDIAN SOLDIER DIES OF GUNSHOT WOUND AT SAME BASE WHERE 4 OTHERS KILLED
A soldier died of a gunshot wound at a military base in India’s northern border state of Punjab, but it was not related to the killing of four soldiers there hours earlier, the Indian army said on Thursday.

The soldier at Bathinda Military Station on Wednesday evening was thought to have shot himself, a statement from the army said.

"There is no connection whatsoever" to the killing of four soldiers by unknown attackers 12 hours earlier, it added.

"The soldier was on sentry duty with his service weapon. The weapon and cartridge case from the same weapon was found next to the soldier," the statement said.

The soldier, who had returned from leave on April 11, was rushed to a military hospital, where he died of his injuries, it added.
