Srinagar, May 22 (IBNS): Major Leetul Gogoi, an officer who had tied a protester to the jeep as a 'human shield', received an honor by the Army chief during elections in Srinagar, according to media reports on Monday.

In a recent clash in Kashmir, the Major was seen to tie a protester to the jeep which halted the stone pelting so that the Army could easily pass through the area.

According to reports, Major Gogoi was awarded COAS Commendation Card for his efforts in Counter-insurgency operations, though an inquiry is still in process for his action of tying up a protester on the jeep bonnet.
