Kerala: Indian Army soldier, friend detained after fabricated 'PFI' assault complaint

In a startling turn of events, an Indian Army soldier and his friend have been apprehended by Kollam police. This surprising development followed the soldier's submission of a false assault complaint, alleging that a group had emblazoned 'PFI' in bright green paint on his back. A senior district police official confirmed that statements from the soldier, Shine Kumar, and his friend are currently under documentation and examination. The soldier's friend claimed that Kumar orchestrated the incident in pursuit of fame. This alleged occurrence took place on the soldier's last day of vacation in Kerala, as he was scheduled to return to his unit in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, on Monday.
