New Delhi: The stand-off between jawans and officers in an armoured regiment deployed at Samba in Jammu and Kashmir last week was not provoked by the suicide of a soldier of the unit, Army Chief Gen Bikram Singh asserted on Thursday.
In an interaction with PTI on the sidelines of a function, the Army Chief said the force has instituted two separate Court of Inquiries to probe the incidents.
“We have instituted two separate Court of Inquiries. There was no connection between the suicide and the incident,” he said when asked about the Samba incident. “Let me tell you that the situation is not that bad. We have already ordered a Court of Inquiry and we are looking to go into the reasons”, Gen Singh said.
Asked if the incidents were a cause of worry for the force, the Army Chief said, “These are isolated incidents. Gen Bikram Singh said such incidents were “isolated” and the force was trying to strengthen its culture. (PTI)
