Soldiers are there to protect the civilians, and unlike police they aint authorized even to raise their hands against civilians.
Its a real shame to our nation.
I do hope the 17 year old girl is safe and I pray she recovers from this catastrophe.
On the broader sense I do feel the structure of Indian Defence the manner they are recruiting personel and posting them in far away places normally robs the morality out of them.
For a country like India we share long international borders I for one advocate the need for compulsary Military training to everyone or Military person posted in civilian departments and rotated on a 6 month basis.
