A court of inquiry was ordered after a 21st battalion Sashastra Seema Bal jawan posted a video on YouTube, alleging he had been physically abused by his senior officers at a camp in Bihar.
Constable Arvind Kumar Jaswara showed injuries on his back and shoulders and said that he was "whipped with a leash" by the commanding officer, his deputy and an Inspector of the unit&nbsp;inside the SSB camp on May 7. The constable alleged that the officers said that they could punish him anytime due to his rank and lower caste. The jawan also said that he was kept in a unit jail for 2 days and was made to sign on a blank paper.
Scared for his life, Jaswara requested senior SSB officers to help him.
The jawan is also under scanner in a case of illegal transport of wooden logs from the Valmiki Tiger reserve of the state to the residence of an SSB officer in Lucknow.
Both inquiries are being conducted simultaneously and a final report will soon be submitted to the SSB headquarters.

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Saturday mocked Yogi Adityanath&rsquo;s tweet on the declaration of Malerkotla as the 23rd district of Punjab as a &lsquo;divisive policy of Congress&rsquo;.
Insinuating irony, the Punjab CM rubbished his Uttar Pradesh counterpart&rsquo;s remark as utterly ridiculous, unwarranted and uncalled for.
The Congress leader called the remark a provocative gesture aimed at creating conflict amongst the communities in Punjab.
Without mincing his words, Captain Amarinder pointed out the spate of changes in names of various cities in UP, cow vigilantism which has led to lynching of Muslims in the state and Adityanath&rsquo;s &lsquo;open hatred&rsquo; for Taj Mahal as a legacy of Mughals.
The Punjab CM further added that Adityanath should focus his energy on saving his own state where the COVID situation is spiralling out of control.

A former IAS officer has been booked for allegedly spreading misinformation by tweeting a seven-year-old photograph of dead bodies floating in the Ganga in Unnao and claiming them to be recent ones spotted in the river in Ballia, police said on Saturday.
In an FIR lodged at the Unnao Kotwali police station, the 1982-batch, UP-cadre officer Surya Pratap Singh has also been accused of claiming on social media that 67 bodes were buried on the Unnao riverbank using JCB and without performing any last rites.
Kotwali police station&rsquo;s SHO Dinesh Chandra Mishra said the case against Singh was lodged on May 13 on complaints by several city residents.
The former outspoken officer had been booked on May 13 after he tweeted the picture of floating bodies and wrote in Hindi, &ldquo;Tairati laashon aur ukharhtee saanso kaa UP model (The UP model of floating bodies and gasping breaths)." SHO Mishra said the case against Singh has been booked under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Information Technology Act, the Disaster Management Act and the UP Public Health and Epidemic Diseases Control Ordinance, 2020.
Quoting from the FIR lodged against the former IAS officer, Mishra said the case against Singh was registered on the complaint by various Unnao residents.

The SHO said the people also accused the former IAS officer of observing on social media that it was the Yogi model of the governance in Uttar Pradesh where the living ones fail to get the treatment and the dead ones their last rites.
