Patna: A CRPF jawan tonight shot dead a national-level female Kabbadi player, who plays for the railways, before shooting himself here after the girl refused to share her mobile number, the police said.

21-year-old player Manisha was on her way back home from Moin-Ul-Haq Stadium after practise when the CRPF jawan Jaswant Singh chased her and picked up a quarrel as she refused to share her mobile number, city SP Manu Maharaj said.

The jawan, who hails from Rajasthan, then fired at her before shooting himself near Bahadurpur railway crossing in the state capital this evening.

Manisha, posted as a clerk at the Danapur divisional office of the Eastern Central railway, was taken to a nearby nursing home where she was declared brought dead.

Jaswant was admitted to the Patna Medical College and Hospital where his condition is critical, the SP said.
