New Delhi: Army chief Gen Bipin Rawat on Sunday met national security advisor Ajit Doval and apprised him of the situation in the Kashmir Valley. The meeting comes amidst a raging controversy after a video surfaced showing a man being tied to an army jeep as a shield against stone pelters during polling for the Srinagar Lok Sabha seat. Officials said the Army chief, during the 30-minute meeting, apprised Doval of the situation in the Valley besides briefing him about the overall security scenario in the Jammu & Kashmir. The video triggered a public outcry in the Valley, prompting the civil and army authorities to launch separate investigations.
