Srinagar Hotel Case

The Srinagar administration has roped in five-star hotels The Lalit and Taj Vivanta overlooking the picturesque Dal Lake and other luxury lodges as paid quarantine facilities to ensure a relaxed and hassle-free stay for those flying into the city from other parts of the country and abroad amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The court martial proceedings against Major Leetul Gogoi, who was at the centre of the 2017 ''human shield'' controversy, have been completed and he may face reduction in seniority as a punishment for "fraternising" with a local woman in Srinagar last year, officials said.

The Army shifted Major Leetul Gogoi, who was at the centre of the 'human shield' controversy, out of his unit and attached to local formation headquarters after being indicted by an Army Court of Inquiry(CoI) for "fraternising" with a local woman in Srinagar, officials said today.

A local court in Srinagar on Saturday directed further investigations in the case involving Army officer Major Leetul Gogoi over a row in a hotel involving a Kashmiri woman and asked police to submit a report by September 18.

Major Leetul Gogoi, who was detained by police in a Srinagar hotel after he was seen with a local woman in May, may face punitive action as a Court of Inquiry (CoI) ordered by the Army into the incident is likely to indict him in the case, official sources said in New Delhi.
