Lady Teaches Indian Army Jawan A Lesson in Assam


H
aflong, Jul 31 : A young woman attacked and threw stones at an army jawan after he allegedly molested her at Haflong in Assam’s North Cachar Hills district, official sources said here on Thursday.

Lance Naik Gurvinder Singh of the army’s 8th Battalion of the Sikh Regiment visited a garments shop owned by the woman, Rali Faihriem at the heart of Haflong town on Wednesday.

Singh, who was in army uniform, asked Faihriem to show him some inner wear and while she was doing so he allegedly made some objectionable advances towards her, sources said.

Faihriem then pulled him out of the shop and threw stones at him in public with local people and other army personnel rescuing him, they said.

The woman later filed an FIR with the police and the army, too, has ordered an inquiry into the incident, sources added.

Army had been deployed in trouble-torn North Cachar Hills district for counter-insurgency operations following large-scale violence by militant outfit Dima Halam Daoga (Jewel).
