Major Gogoi may lose seniority over hotel incident: Report

The court martial proceedings against Army Major Leetul Gogoi have been completed and he is likely to face reduction in seniority for fraternising with a local woman, reports said. Major Gogoi was in the centre of a controversy in 2017 when he created a human shield by tying a Kashmiri youth to the bonnet of his jeep to avoid attacks by stone pelting youth in Budgam district of Jammu and Kashmir. Major Gogoi's driver, Sameer Malla, who facilitated his relationship with a local woman, also faced the court martial proceedings.
