JORHAT: The chief judicial magistrate of Sivasagar on Monday sent army jawan Anil Kumar Upadhaya, accused of molesting a girl in the district, to the army court martial for taking legal action against him. The CJM court passed the order after hearing a petition from the army court of inquiry where Upadhaya was produced before it.
Sivasagar SP Akhilesh Kumar Singh said, "An army court of inquiry on Monday produced army jawan Anil Kumar Upadhaya, accused of molesting a girl, before the court of CJM in Sivasagar, with a prayer to send the accused to the army court martial. The CJM, after hearing the petition,court martialled the accused." The SP said the army court of inquiry had taken the accused for one-day remand after police produced him in the CJM court on Sunday. However, police have found sufficient evidence against the army jawan on his involvement in the crime.
The army jawan allegedly tried to molest a girl belonging to Mishing community when he, along with the 13 member army team were patrolling the flood-affected Dolpa area under Nitaipukhuri police station in Sivasagar district.
