Rajouri, December 16
The Rajouri police have booked about 10 Army men, including a Major and his Captain wife, for organising an attack on a police party.

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. This infuriated Major Utsav and an altercation ensued between them. The police seized the car. Major Utsav informed the ADS unit about the incident and around 10 Army men reached the 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.

The Major, his wife and other Army men had been booked under various Sections of the Ranbir Penal Code (RPC) and the Motor Vehicle Act (MVA), the SHO said. SN Acharya, Officiating PRO, Defence, however, said there was no use of force during the incident. “Reports of attack on policemen are incorrect. The Army has, however, ordered an inquiry into the incident,” he added.

Major Utsav is posted at the IME unit at Garhi while his wife is posted as a doctor at the ADS unit in Noushera tehsil.
