In the video, the soldier says: "In our country everyone says Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan, but there is no protection to properties belonging to jawans or farmers. This happened to me today and can happen to you too."
He further alleged that there was no proper response from the Revenue department and other
The jawan also requested people to share the video and help it reach Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.
According to the report by the district authorities, there was a dispute on ownership of the land between the soldier's father and another man. He had filed a case in a court in 2016 which gave the order in the man's favour.
