A Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) trooper fatally shot himself in West Bengal's Cooch Behar district on Monday, a district official said.
"Constable S.K. Rathore of the 38th battalion shot himself with his own rifle at a SSB camp in Jamaldaha," said the official.
Rathore was deployed there for the West Bengal assembly elections.
The SSB has ordered a court of inquiry into the incident.
