In his letter addressed to CoAS, Rattan Singh, the father of deceased Amit Kumar has stated that his son was posted in 17 JAK LI and was recently attached with 33 Corps as a Sahayak of a senior Army officer.
He further mentioned in the letter that his son was repeatedly harassed at the house of the army officer and on one fateful day when he refused to do some personal work of the officer, he was recalled back to his parent unit on September 14, 2023.
