An army trooper was detained on Monday for alleged misbehaving with a school girl in north Kashmir's Wanigam village, 45 kms from capital Srinagar.
The incident comes close on the heels of allegations of abduction and gang rape of a woman against two soldiers in south Kashmir's Manzgam village last week.
According to a police spokesman, the army trooper misbehaved with the school girl while she was on her way to her school in Wanigam village. The incident led to protests in the area by locals, who also blocked the Srinagar-Muzaffarabad highway.
