its an accident which happened on duty .The Jawan who died suffered head injuries?? Why not wear a proper Helmet during patrols instead of those fanciful bandana-like patkas?
I got that. But the report says the Jawan suffered head injuries and died as a consequence. I can't help but notice our Jawans and Special Forces shunning the faithful Helmet and instead draping their heads with flimsy cloth!

Confusing as it is, both are known as Patka.
