A jawan of the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) was on Wednesday killed and another injured in suspicious firing at a camp of the paramilitary force in Ramban district of Jammu and Kashmir, police said.

It is being verified whether it was a terror attack or a case of fratricide, SSP (Ramban) Mohan Lal told PTI.

“There was firing under suspicious circumstances in an SSB camp in Banihal belt of Ramban district in the evening,” he said.

He said one security man was killed and another injured in the firing.

SSB is deployed in the area for protection of a construction company involved in setting up of rail tunnel.
