Following the death of a jawan during a routine training activity in a North East Infantry unit, a few emotional jawans agitated leading to a scuffle, however, the army has firmly denied any case of a mutiny in the unit.

The jawan had complained of chest pain prior to the route march but when checked by the unit medical officer, was found fit.

The jawan later collapsed during the route march and was brought to the Field Ambulance where he succumbed.

On hearing the news of the death of their colleague, around four to five jawans got emotional and agitated when consoled by the adjutant leading to a minor scuffle, in which no one was injured seriously.

The incident is being investigated as is the practice in all cases of death during training.
