State Agencies Engage in Cover-Up for Army Major Who Paraded An Innocent Citizen Tied to Bonnet of Armored Jeep

- Anurag Pathak/ 22.6.2017

Despite passing of more than two and a half months, no further action has been taken to prosecute the Army Major Leetul Gogoi, accused of tying a 26 years old weaver, Farooq Ahmed Dar, to the bonnet of his armored vehicle as it led a convoy in Indian administered Kashmir on April 9.

Instead, Indian army has recently awarded Gogoi, with Army Chief’s commendation, allegedly “for his far sustained efforts in counter-insurgency operations in Kashmir”.

The ‘Commendation’ has obviously come as a shock as Gogoi remained under investigation for his role in what can’t be termed anything but the dastardly act.
