Army Jawan Returning To Duty In Srinagar Pinned To Pole, Thrashed By Toll Plaza Staff In Meerut

An Indian Army jawan was brutally assaulted at a toll plaza in Uttar pradesh's Meerut, following which four persons have been arrested. The video of the assault was captured on camera and has now gone viral on social media.

The soldier, Kapil Kavad, serves with the Rajput Regiment. He was home on leave and was on his way to the Delhi airport to report back to duty in Srinagar. While returning, Kapil and his cousin found themselves stuck in traffic at the heavily congested Bhuni toll booth.

With time running short, Kavad became anxious about missing his flight, and stepped out of his vehicle to speak with toll booth staff, hoping to resolve the delay. Instead, a dispute began over traffic jam and toll fee, which quickly escalated into a physical assault.
