 Digital Desk: According to a senior official, a 23-year-old man from the Uttarakhand region of Pauri Garhwal committed himself on Wednesday night after being rejected from the state's ongoing Agniveer recruitment.

After failing to be chosen on his previous attempt, the deceased returned home from an ongoing Agniveer recruiting rally in Kotdwar organised by the Army Recruiting Office, Lansdowne, on Wednesday, according to Satpuli sub-divisional magistrate (SDM), Sandeep Kumar.

 

According to him, the victim was depressed and had previously failed two efforts to get accepted into the army for medical grounds.

The victim, according to the SDM's quotation of the family's testimony, returned from the Agniveer recruitment rally and ate a proper supper while interacting with his family sparingly before retiring to his room to sleep.

 

He claimed that when his family members entered the door the following morning, they saw him hanging from the ceiling fan.

Even when they performed a panchnama, the family sent the administration a letter requesting that there be no post-mortem, he claimed.

 

Young people from various regions of the state have been venting their frustration on social media in the midst of the current recruiting for Agniveers, alleging neglect of the eligibility requirements that were outlined in the recruitment rallies.

 

Satpal Maharaj, a cabinet minister, recently asked Rajnath Singh, the defence minister, to look into the situation in a letter. The minister claimed in a video message that the Agniveer recruitment rallies throughout the state do not adhere to the requirements for height and duration to complete the 1,600-meter race.

In the letter, he stated that competitors will have five minutes instead of five minutes and forty seconds to finish the 1,600-meter event.

 

According to the fixed eligibility standard of 163 cm, only candidates whose height is 170 cm or higher will be given consideration for selection.

Naresh Bansal, an MP for Uttarakhand in the Rajya Sabha, brought up the same issue in a letter to Rajnath Singh, the defence minister, on Friday.

In the meantime, Congress state president Karan Mahara criticised the Modi administration, claiming that young people without jobs were left with no choice but to participate in Agniveer recruitments.

 

At Kotdwar in the Pauri Garhwal district on August 17, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami announced the launch of the Agniveer recruitment programme under the Agnipath plan and promised that the state government will offer jobs to the Agniveers upon completion of their four-year service.

 

Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Yaswant Singh in Pauri Garhwal said that he had no information of the situation when questioned.

If I hadn't already acquired the information, it might have occurred under the purview of the tax police, he claimed.

 According to Lakhan Singh, the house officer at Satpuli police station, the incident happened under the purview of the revenue police, and they don't know anything about it.

According to the district magistrate's directives, the case might also be transferred from revenue police to regular police in the event of a major crime, he continued.
