Amid increasing incidents of fuel theft from military vehicles, the Mahajan Field Firing Range in Bikaner, Rajasthan, has issued a strict warning that individuals caught stealing fuel could face lethal force. This severe directive follows numerous thefts, raising significant security concerns. In response, armed security measures have been heightened at night to monitor suspicious activities, with local accountability established for any incidents. The Range Commandant has emphasized that sentries will be armed and permitted to use their weapons if necessary, marking a rare instance of the Army formally addressing the potential use of firearms against fuel thieves. This development underscores the critical need for enhanced security protocols surrounding military assets.
