NEW DELHI: An Army Major, who had tied a Kashmiri man to a jeep in Kashmir, has been awarded by Army Chief Gen Bipin Rawat for his ‘sustained efforts’ in counter- insurgency operations.
The Army Chief’s ‘Commendation Card’ for Major Leetul Gogoi comes even as a Court of Inquiry into the tying of the Kashmiri man to the jeep’s bonnet purportedly as a shield against stone pelters was going on.
“Major Gogoi has been awarded Chief of Army Staff’s Commendation Card for sustained efforts in counter-insurgency operations,” Army spokesperson Aman Anand said. (AGENCIES)
