[Assam] The avenging soldier in this report is an Assamese S.K. Rava.

Mukul da,

Stories like these often make the rounds whenever there is prolonged
deployments by any army - it happens here too.

Further, such stories often come out so that some would take interest in
finding out some scientific/social solution (with India's best interest at
heart)

But, little do some Indian officials know that there are fringe elements who
revel at such news items.

Unfortunately, for them the Indian army is a million plus - they would have
to wait a long, long time for them all to go berserk.:)
