In a shocking incident along NH-44 in Ramban’s Marog area, a police officer allegedly raised his hand against a Sikh soldier of the Indian Army, triggering widespread condemnation across social media and defence circles.
The act, described by many as an affront to the dignity and honour of the armed forces, has sparked outrage among citizens and veterans alike. Observers have called it not just a breach of discipline but a moral and professional failure reflecting a lack of mutual respect between security personnel.
Legal experts said that such behaviour could constitute assault under the Indian Penal Code, while defence veterans have demanded a thorough inquiry and accountability to prevent recurrence of such incidents.
The episode has once again brought attention to the need for restraint, coordination, and respect among all uniformed services, who share the common duty of protecting the nation and its citizens.
