Amid a major ongoing controversy over not according a guard of honor to Agniveer recruit Amritpal Singh, the Indian Army reportedly clarified on Sunday that he died by suicide by shooting himself on sentry duty. Furthermore, the Army also said that military honors were not given at Singh's funeral as deaths from self-inflicted injuries are not granted such honors. Singh's cremation in Punjab on Friday triggered a major political controversy as he was not accorded a military funeral.
