more-inA 26-year-old soldier, branded a ‘deserter’, who was caught by army officials after months, managed to give them the slip again at the Bengaluru city railway station last week. After a frantic search for the missing soldier in and around Majestic, the officials approached the city police seeking their help to track him down. According to Mr. Sunderdas, Naveen had served in the army for eight-and-a-half years and was now termed a deserter. The officials alerted their seniors and took up search operations in Majestic area, but in vain. The city railway police have taken up a case under Section 224 of IPC (Resistance or obstruction by a person to his lawful apprehension) and are investigating.
