The Uttar Pradesh Police arrested the eighth accused in the brutal assault of Army jawan Kapil and his companions at a toll plaza in Meerut. The incident, which sparked widespread outrage and protests after a video went viral, involved toll employees attacking the jawan when he requested faster service. The Indian Army’s Central Command condemned the attack and is pursuing justice, while the National Highways Authority of India penalized the toll agency and initiated contract termination proceedings. This incident underscores the need for greater protection and respect for armed forces personnel, especially in civilian contexts.
