The arrest has sparked protests at the soldier's village in Bihar's Vaishali.

The father of a Bihar soldier who was killed in action in the 2020 Galwan clashes with China was allegedly manhandled and arrested last night over a dispute linked to land for the soldier's memorial. The arrest has sparked protests at the soldier's village in Bihar's Vaishali.

CCTV footage shows the police dragging away soldier Jay Kishore's father Raj Kapoor Singh from the village. The family alleges that he was beaten by the police.

Singh has been charged under the Scheduled Casts and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act after a complaint against him by Dalit villagers who accused him of encroaching upon government land.
