Mumbai, Mar 3 (IBNS) : An army jawan, who featured in a sting operation against the 'sahayak system' in the armed forces, was found hanging in his room in the Deolali Cantonment of Maharashtra on Thursday, the Times of India reported.

The Times of India reports that the doctors said that the body of 33-year-old Roy Mathew was decomposed so he might have died several days ago. The report said that he was facing an inquiry because he was part of the sting video. He is also said to have run away from his artillery unit since February 25.

The sahayak (buddy) system is said to have been exploited by senior officers. The sting purported that jawans had to walk the dogs of senior officers, take their children to school or even take their wives shopping.
