This incident reportedly occurred late last night on Friday when 41 RR personnel of the Army interfered with a common citizen near Deputy Commissioner Office of the town
The scuffle, they said, started when ‘Munshi’ intervened to alleged irksome behaviour of the army personnel with a civilian who was asked to come out of the vehicle he was travelling in.
