New Delhi: Frequent humiliation of Chinese troops in Ladakh and elsewhere has fast eroded the respect for Indian army in the hearts of its public who spares no opportunity to vent its anger by beating army officers and soldiers on Indian streets in broad daylight on even small things.
In one such latest incident, a group of men set ablaze the car of an Army Major after he objected to playing of loud music at a hotel in Uttar Pradesh. The incident took place in Vishal Khand area of Gomtinagar, police said.
Five people have been arrested in the case. Additional DCP (East) Ali Abbas said, a case was registered against two staff members of the hotel and four other men at Gomtinagar police station.
According to police, Hotel Milano Cafe is located near the residence of Major Abhijit Singh. On previous night, the DJ was being played in a loud manner. On this, the Army officer asked the hotel staff to stop the music. This infuriated the staff who set his car on fire.
The Samajwadi Party took a dig at the Yogi Adityanath government over the incident.
“The bullies burnt an Army Major’s car, under the Yogi government in state capital Lucknow. Major had protested against loud DJ and the goons burnt his car. Shameful! Security in the state capital under the BJP government is such that a soldier is not safe in his home.,” the party tweeted in Hindi.
