Jitendra’s family has been informed in Kanpur and his father is said to reach Gurugram to receive his son’s body.
There have been a few cases of suicides by NSG personnel in the recent times. In October 2011, a 38-year-old NSG commando from Hoshiarpur had allegedly killed himself within the campus using his service revolver. He was posted as the head constable.
The NSG was started in 1984 to take care of counter-terror and tackle cases of hijack. It is headquartered in the Manesar camp, 24 kms from Gurgaon.
