No link between DGEME Lt Gen Sahni and Thailand assault video, says Army
The clarification came after several posts circulated online, falsely linking a viral video from Thailand to the senior Indian Army officer.
The GOC, White Knight Corps, on Friday paid heartfelt tribute to the ten Bravehearts who yesterday made the supreme sacrifice in a tragic vehicular accident while moving on operational duty through treacherous terrain and extremely challenging weather conditions in the general area of Doda.
“Their unwavering devotion to duty, fortitude in hostile terrain and selfless service to the nation epitomise the highest traditions of the Indian Army”, he said.
