JAMMU: An Indian soldier shot and killed his commanding officer in the Indian held Kashmir, police said on Thursday, blaming the killing on the tensions of serving in the volatile area. The soldier, Naik Ravi Kumar, was arrested after shooting Maj Harsh Kumar with his service weapon late on Wednesday at a base in the Rajouri district, local police chief Farooq Khan said. Khan said there had been several such cases recently, which he attributed to "stress due to long duty hours in the troubled area or denial of leave". |
