Major Gogoi, Who Tied A Protester To A Jeep In Kashmir, Honoured By Army Chief
Farooq Ahmad Dar, a resident of Kashmir’s Beerwah town, tied to an army vehicle.
Major Leetul Gogoi of the Indian Army, who had tied a protester to the front of an army jeep last month to deter stone pelters, has been honoured by Chief of Army Staff General Bipin Rawat. The Commendation Card has been awarded by the Army chief for Gogoi’s “sustained efforts” in counter-insurgency operations.
A court of inquiry has been tasked to find out the circumstances under which the Kashmiri youth had been tied to a jeep as a ‘human shield’ following public outcry after video footage of the incident was leaked on social media.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
