Major, jawans booked for attacking J-K cops Rajouri, December 16 Noushera SHO Inspector Yashpal said Major Utsav was travelling in an Alto car along with his wife Captain Urvi Bhattacharya and one-year-old daughter yesterday. He was stopped by a police party at Gujral Chowk as the car had tinted glasses. Inspector Yashpal said he told the Major that the use of tinted glasses was not allowed in vehicles.

spot. “Army men thrashed some policemen with lathis and rifle buts. The Major tried to drive away the car forcibly, but could not succeed,” said the SHO.
