A Major General died on Sunday when the golf cart he was sitting in overturned on a small bridge and he fell nearly 12-feet down, a police official said.
The Commandant of the Western Command Military Dental Centre, Maj Gen Sanjeev Harbans Gupta, was 57.
On whether anyone was accompanying the officer on the golf cart, he said the matter is under investigation.
Earlier, a defence release had said Gupta suffered "grievous" injuries while participating in a "sporting activity" at the Chandimandir Military Station.
The 57-year-old was commissioned into the Army Dental Corps in September 1981.
Western Army Commander Lt Gen Surinder Singh, expressed his condolences and described Gupta as a highly competent professional and outstanding human being.
Gupta is survived by his wife, two daughters and son.
