Shillong, April 17: A soldier was detained by Bathinda police on Monday in connection with a military station shooting incident in which four army men lost their lives. Police have not yet confirmed the reports, though. At noon, the Bathinda Police will hold a press conference.

On Wednesday, a firing incident inside the Bathinda Military Station in Punjab resulted in the deaths of four Indian Army jawans.
